What do you think of this trial between the two smartphone and tablet titans?
Me, personally, I think Apple wants to destroy competition and monopolize the smartphone market. Its obvious that its lawsuit it rather petty, especially because it tried to have the Galaxy Nexus BANNED even tho you'd never mistake that phone for an iPhone in a million years. The Nexus doesn't even have physical buttons anywhere. Apple also seeks to play off consumers who, by their own ignorance, may not have been able to tell the difference between their own products and Samsung's. Plus, having Apple employees as "experts" who supposedly could not tell the difference between their own products and Samsung, shows they're clearly sealing their own grave and desperate. In ALL industries, competition takes inspiration from the competition. This lawsuit is like Ford suing GM for making a car, the first TV maker suing others for making TVs, etc.
Plus, the VAST majority, nearly all Androids (Galaxy S3 included) are nothing close to the iPhone in either user "look and feel," which is simply subjective anyway, and Apple should be ashamed of itself suing on such pathetic grounds. Apple tried this on Microsoft and lost. Apple seems to forget that they do not own the concept of a GUI on either computers or smartphones.
That being said, you know, Samsung could easily have made this much harder for Apple. I don't say they easily could have avoided this, because Jobs wanted to destroy Android, not just Samsung. But Samsung could really have just gone a little further in its first two Galaxy devices, the icons and the silver bezel, and made this much harder. I mean come on, Samsung. The basic problem is that TouchWiz could have differentiated itself more, like Moto and HTC.
But still doesn't destroy the fact that Apple is trying to destroy competition and I don't think they're gonna win or ban Samsung smartphones. I think we're likely to see tho, a radical OTA update on touchwiz at most.
Also, what is Apple thinking by suing one of their biggest suppliers? Heck if I were Samsung, I'd cut Apple off, hike the prices on them, or do that to try to get them to drop or settle.
