When you go to openmarket you have to expect people copy a succesful product and to top the imitator the original have to be always in their top game to keep selling their product instead of whining and spent all those money not on r&D but on lawyer.And apple dont do this thing this last 3 years they didnt come up with good idea like before so think this year 2013 is the year that apple will go down cause of the 5" phone phablet or whatever from android.Samsung Galaxy siV SOny XPeria Htc one and da revival of chinese mobile company will certainly burry apple the bully.

      Doesn't even matter. Judge can even reduce to zero the payment, the mission was accomplished and everyone knows Samsung for the copycats they are.

          I hate Samsung!!!! i bought 2 galaxy phone but it always stuck and overheated. i have iphone 4 &4s and im very happy using it because the ui is very smooth, less lags. very high quality apps. And if u want to customized u can jailbreak. Iphone is an endless possibilities phone. No fragmentation and very good quality build. It's money worth! Sammy stopped building crappy phones...

                I hate apple's marketing anyway, because it copy yourself. The is nothing new or original from 3, 4 or 5 versions. We need to pay fore nothing except increasing numbers and empty reproductions. Apple creates nothing, it just put restrictions on apps, therefore we will need to buy 5, 7, 8 etc.

                  AnonD-36622, 02 Mar 2013Google would lose all they gain in this past years! Android... moreSamsung get government support, also they copy from other phones such like Iphone and Ipad.

                  This is the reason why Samsung have success, thanks to Apple to copy their dosing.

                  That's it, Samsung is just ordinary copy cat.

                      >>When ur design fails miserably , what's the last thing you try ? Re-design entire thing and correct all the possible mistakes.

                      "and yet apple only manage to bring out a slightly stretched, thinner and faster phone from the previous model"
                      >>That's because Apple do not want to make a gaint plastic box with heavy weight by adding NFC , wireless charging etc.
                      They want to have good designed phone instead of a bulky one.

                      "To all iphone users....Would you purchase an exact phone with an LG, motorola or other manufacturer logos instead of apple? I think not"
                      >>Yes , but unfortunately LG , moto etc. companies do not offer the customer experience and update cycles like Apple provides , So Apple logo wins because of the experience they give (store experience , service and update cycle).

                      Not to forget the consistent experience u get.

                      "simpleton, fashion victims and tension seekers use iphone for status symbol and simplicity..... must gadget lovers would prefer a much better products"
                      >>Status symbol ? really ? Since when did people start giving respect by looking at devices instead of person itself.

                      If u have retarded friends , plz tell them to focus on the person they meet , instead of looking at their device logos.

                      You know , who feels their device as boring ? People who purchase something to just "play around" and toss it away after few days.

                      I have been using windows PC for over 8 years and also used symbian till last month , I never got "bored" of it because I "use" it and get my things done.Then i upgraded to Lumia because my past experience with Nokia was good especially Nokia maps , music services.I also have an iPad.

                      IMHO , real experience starts when u open the app or launch the game.Just use iPhone/iPad and launch apps and everything works so well and all the magic comes there.

                        this ridiculous patent wars are getting boring, apple should actually invest some of this legal finance into R&D instead of pursuing these stupid legal battles, it is not healthy to try and monopolize the markets in this way,
                        Granted the galaxy s does look slightly similar to the 3gs in the silver band around the outside edge of the phone, but apart from that, what is supposed to be the same, it does not look like an iphone, it does more then an iphone, its screen is way better then the iphone, its size was different, other then that band it is just another touch screen black device, apple also need to realize that they accuse people of copying them, they are themselves doing exactly that, even the name iPhone is a brazillian copyright, facetime was a patent violation from virmtX, as well as losing a huge amount of patents based on the fact that other companies had actually allready invented these products first in various corners of the markets, you are no better then every other company out there, trying to succeed, the only difference is, apple can repackage the same tech time and time again with spec boosts, and keep selling them in their millions because people who own apple products like to be told how to use their device, not the other way around, shame, Because with some more user friendly support, multimedia wise, and customization and connectivity, apple could actually eat up the market, but a few other companies make far superior devices but they just lack the brand penetration that apple carries

                          UK's first mobile videochat was released in 2003 not 1997.

                          Peace :)

                            LG screen is much better than Samsung AMOLED
                            And don't forget Lumia phones with their black non-reflective display
                            Also Sony with their Lithium-Polymer battery

                            Every brand has their own specialty

                              Blackberry completely redesign their own product and spent 2yrs with the new OS. Sony promised (last year) they would bring a new flagship to compete with others. HTC stole the show (MWC)with a new flagship product........ and yet apple only manage to bring out a slightly stretched, thinner and faster phone from the previous model.

                              It's all about suing and patent pathetic ideas like (shop layout and in car dash magnet for ipads). This is a typical corporate bully who throw there weight and money round to take out there biggest rivals.

                              To all iphone users....Would you purchase an exact phone with an LG, motorola or other manufacturer logos instead of apple? I think not..... simpleton, fashion victims and tension seekers use iphone for status symbol and simplicity..... must gadget lovers would prefer a much better products. (please don't mention about "you can't afford it... or cheap plastic phones") absolutely pathetic excuses to defend such an average device.

                              STOP BULLYING, SUING and WHINGING.....

                              DESIGN A NEW PHONE AND NEW OS to all your loyal simpleton customers (Doesn't includes rename old tech i.e: facetime = 1997 videochat... and so on)

                              Peace from a tech lover
