The point is, Apple makes no bones about it being a carbon copy. If you asked them, they would throw their hands up in frustration and say, that is the entire point.
They absolutely intended for anyone who see's this clock to immediately recognize they were paying tribute to the original.
Traditionally, designers have appreciated these little nods of respect.
I'm not sure what happened with SBB, but I'm sure it will play out to their benefit.
In the case of Samsung, Apple _wanted_ Samsung to pull their product from the market. In the case of SBB, it would be slap to their face if Apple just decided to yank their clock off the iPad.
Hopefully it will all work out for the best - Apple will license the likeness for some moderate fee, and everyone walks away happy.

Surely the point is that an ethical business seeks license from those they choose to copy before doing so. It is not at all respectful to copy verbatim without seeking any form of warrant or approval.
