Apple vs Samsung, court orders Samsung to show Apple 5 new phones

While, that's true Moothead2, if you created a product or product line which were then copied, in almost every sense, would you not think that was a little out of order and look to take legal action?
 
Who actually gives ****? I mean really? A multi billion dollar company sues a different multi billion dollar company. It happens all the time. If you don't like apple then fair do, stick to android. Plenty of space in the market for both to exist as they do now.

People seems to be taking it personally.
 
I wonder if the ruling had been different if it was a US company suing a US company, or a non-US company suing a US company? it's interesting that S. Korea courts judged that they were both at it, British courts threw the case out and only the US courts ruled massively in favour of the US company.

The US has reached such a state that most of their judges/juries are probably on the Apple payroll.
 
There never seems to be space for people who like some Apple stuff but not others. I'd never have an iPhone, but the Macbook Air 11" was, and probably still is, the best ultraportable 11" on the market.

I'm moving to that category now! Changing the iPhone for an android as it just does nothing for me. I don't think much comes close to the MacBook pro though so I can't see me getting rid of that anytime soon.

It looks tacky. You're stuck with Windows and to rub salt in the wound it cost £300 more than my Air. For a lower spec machine. And people call Apple overpriced? Madness.

You're looking at the wrong one I imagine, the NP900X3B is likely the model he means. They're generally the same price spec for spec but have a PLS (Samsungs version of IPS) screen.

But as I've said many times once you compare products with the same level of build quality the prices are the same, which is what many anti Apple people don't seem to be able to understand.

Seeing how I mostly see people with cheaper handsets I'd still say that they make up the most of the market. Of course I still do see people with premium models that probably bought them because the contract was cheaper. Either that or they decided to jump on the Apple hate train.

You're generalising and it makes you look just as bad as the anti Apple crowd. I own a HTC One S (from my iPhone 4) because at the time it offered the things I wanted from a phone, that is a great camera, larger screen and a slim unibody build.

Had there been an iPhone 5 with those things I would have jumped on it.

I'm one of those people. The Macbooks are very nice laptops and I like my 15" MBP, but I think iOS is awful and {although I have an iPhone for work} would never buy one.

shipments are not sales, plus iOS devices account for 63% of all mobile web traffic, thats staggering considering the number of devices on the market.

The significant majority of that is iPad traffic though, which doesn't really count as 'smartphone' :p
 
The more details that come out about this trial the more likely it is going to be thrown out and it seems to have caused a bit of embarassment to the US. Worst thing that could have happened for apple (in terms of thier legitimacy in this trial) in this was for the jurors to start opening their mouths as they clearly didn't do what they were supposed too and had already made up their mind. Speaking to an american lawyer yesterday he said he thought the whole thing had done nothing but give a negative impression of the US in international business circles. I'll take his word on that i was only at the party as my brother paid for it and he always gets the best barbie burgers :).
 
They will be successful, there is no defence.

I read Samsung will ask for the products not to be banned until the appeal hearing takes place, thats the best they can hope for imho.

Did you not read the article? There is a defence. Whether it is successful is still not decided yet:

With infringement already established, and assuming Judge Koh doesn't disrupt the jury verdict, Apple must convince the court that it will be irreparably harmed if these products are not banned in the country. It's easier to make this argument after a positive jury verdict, but an injunction is by no means a foregone conclusion.

It's even in big huge red letters.
