I don't really care about lawsuits, I care about the product.
I will buy Apple if they offer the best product on the market. Lawsuits won't change that.
- incision 14y agoYou're not the average consumer. Apple owes everything to effectively cultivating the notion that they are cool and unique, the product of choice for young rebels and everyone who thinks different. Cool enables their huge margins, grants instant forgiveness for any slip-ups and allows them to essentially dictate what constitutes the "best product". That's why they're fighting so hard. Samsung is a threat to their cool.
