Apple is fighting multiple legal battles with Samsung, claiming Samsung copied both the iPad and iPhone. But Samsung's lawyers are fighting back, accusing Apple of falsely manipulating graphics showing similarities between the Samsung Galaxy S smartphone and the iPhone 3G.

Dutch publication WebWereld (translation) reports that Apple submitted a side-by-side graphic to a Dutch court at the Hague of the iPhone 3G next to the Samsung Galaxy S, with Apple's lawyers calling the graphic "an example of the similarity relevant to copyrights."

But the picture showed the two smartphones exactly the same size. That's where Samsung's lawyers called foul and accused Apple of distorting Samsung's devices to look more Apple-like. In reality, the two smartphones are not the same size -- the Galaxy S is 122.4mm tall versus the iPhone 3G's 115.5mm height.
