Well thats the first i've heard of any of that.. but i'll take your word for it. Whatever the case, they also did this !
I'd want to **** all over Samsung if I designed the iPhone too.
If China being Apples fastest growing market is your definition of very poor, then yeah sure. Otherwise i'm confused.
I think the US courts got this one right, Samsung did copy Apple with that design. I use both Android and iOS on a daily basis and I prefer Android 4.1 over iOS 5, however I still think that Samsung copied Apple. I don't think that the phones should be outright banned in the US but I do think that Samsung should get some sort of punishment.
