Samsung stole the idea of the modern smartphone as we know it today from Apple iPhone.
Not entirely true, Best Buy and other places can still sell Series 9 and Ultra 2
Imagine not understanding a thing about patent law and taking things at face value. In the technology world there are many patents that should not have eeven been allowed to register. Since its a dispute it doesnt mean its a valid claim or not. Thats up to courts and lawyers. Apple didnt invent the smartphone. They just made something far better than what existed. Thats the way to do it. You do not have to invent everything. There were smart watches before Apple. Apple made the best commercially available one. If you knew they stole from Samsung then why didnt they makde a case? Your concept of stole is like others. Again face value, a theory.

Quote from teon :
This one is the previous year old model which does not affect from the Apple Watch import ban.

Apple only currently makes 3 watches: the Ultra 2, the Series 9, and the SE. Basically Apple cannot import any of its watches from the Series 6 onwards.

What that means is not only will Apple not sell you the Series 9/Ultra 2, but that US merchants aside from Apple (Best Buy, etc) won't get new stock of such. Older models are just existing stock they're selling off and that as well won't get replaced.

Lastly, Apple can't repair any of the watches affected by the ban unless they are under warranty like AppleCare+.

So if you buy a new Apple Watch make sure you get AppleCare+. Otherwise if it breaks you're out of luck for any kind of problems if the watch konks out.

Have the Ultra 2. The extended battery life (+ fast charging) is worth the upgrade worth it over the Series watches which I never wore consistently because of that.

That's not true. All models except the SE going back to the 6th gen are affected.

This is true a guy posted on Reddit he has a 6 went into the Apple store today and wouldn't replace the battery out of warranty

..and that was the last time Apple was innovative. Apple has been a glorified marketing company since Jobs died. But in any case, a competitor brand means improvements for everyone.

Imagine apple stealing ideas 🤔🤔 jk I always knew they stole from Samsung but improved upon whatever they stole lol

I think Apple and Samsung are two great innovators with different strategies. Samsung gets sales by being the first, Apple develops the technology but doesn't release it immediately and, instead, makes sure it's near perfect first.

Quote from bonuscow :
i have a gen 6.

i'd personally go for ultra 2 for the new chip. while i'm still happy with the gen 6 performance, it's only a matter time before it gets too slow or apple stops supporting software for it because the chip is too old.

i don't upgrade my watch as often as my phone simply because it's not as important. so longevity is key for me.

ultra 1 uses the same chip from gen 6 i believe.

Ultra 1 uses S8 SiP with 64-bit dual-core processor

They have a buy one, get one 300 off. My guess is this is what was done.

I second this. They are both great innovators with different marketing strategies. Now Chinese phones are on the horizon catching up. It's good for us as consumers when more competition means more choices with better prices Smilie
