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.

Samsung throws spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks

Apple doesn't need to throw spaghetti against the wall often to know what sticks.

This is so far from the truth lol. The touch panel smartphone existed way way way before Apple ever came out with the iPhone.

LG has the Prada phone out before th iPhone did. So guess again. Samsung didn't steal anything.

..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.
I agree with your last sentence.

If you think it is a merely the notion of touchscreen vs button based screen that made iphone successful, then that is far from the truth "lol"

More than likely within a week or two its business as usual.
Rumor has it that Apple is working on a firmware to disable the o2 sensor that most people won't use and probably won't care about.

Just need to put a sticker on the boxes to change the 02 sensor marketing and some marketing flyers with updated informarion.

If they sold it for 100 less, would you care if it had the o2 sensor that they might eventually enable in the future? Is the 02 a deal breaker? I really don't think so.

What I'm finding interesting is the banned watches are dropping fast in value on Swappa and I expected the opposite. I wonder if the assumption is that apple will have to disable the sensor which was one of the main differences over the previous generation watch so it makes less sense to pay more for banned one.

Possibly, probably.. if they bork the O2 sensor, I'm sending mine back for sure. Bought a new AWU2 from AMZN for $615, then sold my AWU like new for $525 before Xmas. but no O2 sensor, no workie for me. i have till 1/31/24 holiday return period to return the watch to AMZN if APPL borks it

Wouldn't Apple face class action on behalf of customers who bought this and had the feature turned off? Might take a while to get through the courts - but I could see them having to refund significant $$ if they turn off a feature like that.

Their T&C probably say somewhere deep that they can change features without warning or compensation. Then it would go through courts and take YEARS. Even a judgement for the class one could end up with $25 at most.

In the other main AWU2 deal thread? It was $700 after a $50 discount, then I had an AMEX discount valued at $80, so I guess it was $619.. and shipped it to our offices in OR.
