Interesting. Samsung making a bold move here, but one that could make sense.

Samsung: We make fun of Apple until we copy them outright.

See also: removing ports, having a notch

Let apple take the flak for moving the market and then quietly copy because of course it's more lucrative... classic.

Apple was like the third phone with a notch. That's Essential's claim actually.

And Motorola had true wireless earbuds earlier, etc.

Apple is about polish, not novelty, but a ton of people are obsessed with the idea of Apple as being "groundbreakers" everywhere.

Apple's focus on polish makes them a not-1st-mover. The Apple vision pro isn't the 1st virtual or augmented reality device. The Airpods max isn't the 1st pair of wireless headphones.

This device has a notch?

Also when did Samsung attack apple for using M1/M2/M3?

[–] dukk@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8/9 Ultra. Publically made fun of Apple’s notch, then released their tablets with a notch a few months later. (Although tbf nowhere near as pronounced as Apple’s and mostly justified due to the extremely thin bezels).
