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

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

      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.

        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).
