Samsung has good lawyers and deep pockets so there must be a lot more to it. Autocomplete is not a novel invention from 2007.

The deep pockets and good lawyers couldn't make the judge even look into Samsung's evidence the last time.

I doubt there is anything more to it, but that's just a preconceived notion after reading a couple (literaly, 2) of other Apple patents.

Not necessarily. The jury in the previous Apple vs. Samsung trial didn't even fill out the forms correctly when they ruled in Apple's favor. Apple's lawyers tell a compelling story, so it doesn't matter what the facts are.
