        Apple product gonna stay the same for more years to come, they don't have room to grow cause everybody else follow their foot steps, patented every single ideas. No wonder iphone stay look the same, cause they cannot make it other way, or they get sued by other company.
        Thats why, still the same kin connector, while everybody else using simple micro USB, no bluetooth transfer yet, I bet because patent problem. Samsung gonna get them in long run.

            The only people to benefit from this are the lawyers. If Apple wants to sue let them pay for the legal costs..

                        i'm nobodies fan, but i hate apple with all my heart because i'm the kind of guy who appreciates hard working and honest people who provide you with hardware and software which is worth the money you pay not apple which buy all their parts from other companies use antic hardware and lie to people that they are selling the best, they fool people, they should be charged for fraud, i hear people buying iphones because of the retina display but they don't know what that is, they can't understand that retina is a made up name by apple for screens which have a higher density than 300ppi, you could say xperia z,s4,htc one have retina display, i call this fraud fooling people to buy your crap, even though the sheeps deserve it, it's still fraud. they get into peoples head with their lies and their publicity, they know this game very well i could say that in this they are the best, this is the only reason they are doing so well because people actually believe that apple products are better, they fooled people into believing that aluminium phones are better that it is more expensive even though i pay 50 eurocents for a soda in aluminium. if apple starts producing tomorrow cars out of crap you'll see people rushing to buy crap made cars saying that crap is better in case of accidents and its more expensive.

As Nokia own 3 quarters of the patents in existence for mobile devices, which Microsoft will soon have control over for a ten year period. I think there is method in Microsoft's plan

                            Of course Apple will keeping going at Samsung, Apple may have the US market but Samsung has the world market where Apple can't compete on price or features. At present Samsung is Apple biggest threat, they think if they can take down the smaller companies afterwards.

                              This is the way to stop apple from more lawsuits...Have every cellphone manufacturer that makes android phones (LG, Samsung, Sony, etc)cut all ties to Apple(even if they are the big customers)including manufacturing parts(screen, everything). Then have those same companies withdraw from the us market for about 6-8 months completely(phones, appliances, tvs)not releasing any of their products. That way, consumers and wireless carriers will be hurt, resulting in the blame on Apple for hurting the US economy/market. Therefore Apple will have to stop their lawsuits because they rely on these companies for competition and parts. Apple products will then become crappy, and when Apple is at its lowest, it will be a perfect chance for Android to come back and take the title again. Apple will therefore destroy their own business for going "thermonuclear war" on these companies. Best believe if these companies withdraw from the US, consumers wont go to Apple products, they will go through external sources to get what they want. in return Apple will "ban" their competition only to destroy itself.

                                  If I was the CEO of Samsung I would accept the fact that people in USA don't want Samsung product and would not sell any type of product to USA at all any more. So they could happily all buy iPhones iTVs iDon't know what else. And fully depend on one single brand. Just as they wish. I think Samsung CEO is very stupid to not do this but spend all that time money resources on legal battle.
