Well duh. Apple released a laptop processor last year, so of course Samsung are doing one. Samsung tags soon no doubt.

      AirTags were leaked via trademark in 2019.[1] Tile has been around since 2012.[2] Someone on HN said something about whistling in the 80s.[3] Who did it first?

        Yeah I didn't say they were first I just corrected the person that I responded to about the date that the Samsung product was announced.

  And the Galaxy Book S was already announced with ARM in August 2019. 1 year before Apple's announcement with the ARM six. Edit: And a Samsung Chromebook with a Rokchip ARM is in the market since January 2017...

Rarely is Apple the first to do something. Usually they're the first to do it well, with high quality, and when they think the market is there for it to become more ubiquitous. Sometimes they'll pull a few things together that weren't previously, but for the most part they excel at providing a polished, high quality experience for something that already existed.

  This doesn’t change the fact that Samsung always immediately clones whatever Apple does
  - tooltalk 5y ago
    How is that possible when Apple's clone is based on whatever Samsung already announced/releaseD?

      They copy each other but make minor errors in each copy. The fitter copies survive. That's called "evolution by natural selection."

      You know Samsung lost a billion dollar lawsuit because they stole the entire iPhone UI right?

        No, it was $500M and centered about this design patent for rounded corners: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/fa/21/81/670fbfd00d78ff/USD504889.pdf https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/fa/21/81/670fbfd... That's it. These clipart pictures really are the complete patent.

        you mean the lawsuits Apple couldn't win outside Koh's court in Apple's backyard?
