They're only pissed off because Android sells at a lower margin and a lower price point and therefore has more volume and marketshare.

If they actually cared about the similarities, they would have picked a fight earlier on.

They only pick a fight now as the successor is competitive enough to win some cash off, so it's less risky.

I have no respect for anyone who does this. Fuck them.



This is exactly the problem. All the arguments about copying are just a smoke screen for an attack on a successful competitor.

Unfortunately for Apple these suits put the Android vendors in the role of the underdog and people tend to root for the underdog.
