We all know about the long running battle between the best smartphone makers samsung and apple. But recently the verdict was that both have infringe a patent. But samsung has more damages done to apple that's why they have to pay a billion dollar to apple for copying the rectangular smartphone design and other patents. My reaction over this is that this is just right as based on the evidence submitted to apple, samsung's design was really a knock off. But I think this is what made Samsung a successful smartphone maker. Samsung is the best already in making smartphones. With the Samsung S3, samsung is now better than iphone. This is I think the rise of samsung from the smartphone market. Apple should really be alarmed by this. Because as time pass by, apple iphones are starting to be boring, as they is no new things introduced. They are just the same plain old swipe to unlock. Im an apple fan actually. But I hate apple for they are not updating their iphones with nice features. What do you think of this guys? Are you an apple or samsung fan boy? Share your ideas here. Happy mylotting.

Hi, I am an admirer of both Samsung and Apple as they are leaders in technology. The losses Samsung has suffered are quite big, but they have undoubtedly made a lot of profit by selling those smartphones in the market worldwide, and now they might have to pay a significant part of it to Apple. However, as you said, it is right as the designs were completely copied. I have not owned an I phone myself but have seen my friend using it, and he too has the same opinion as you, that Apple is doing nothing to make their I phones exciting while Samsung continues to experiment and innovate. I own a Samsung Galaxy Ace myself, and it was an expensive phone for me to buy, but I am more than happy with it. I have become a great fan of Samsung after my positive experience with this purchase and I recommend their phones to everyone who asks me for my opinion. Have a nice day ahead.
