Mea Culpa: On its U.K. site, Apple admits to publishing inaccurate statement about Samsung

0. phoneArena posted on 03 Nov 2012, 11:50

Apple has finally published a statement that pleases the court; Apple had published a statement that was more of a self-serving advertisement for the Apple iPad than the court ordered notice that Samsung's tablets did not infringe on Apple's patents...

Wow....didnt even catch that the first time. Apple is so used to thinking everything is a copy of them....they included tablets that were found not guilty...

Figures...

I guess it's not easy being the best, Apple.

Apple doesnt have the smartphone and tablet market cornered anymore...

kronic upset lol

is that apple logo branding on your forehead hurting everytime someones says something against apple

26. Kronic (banned) posted on 04 Nov 2012, 00:14 3

Actually I have no apple logo branding on my head. I am against fandroids who comment impossible stuff. I mean on every ipad homescreen? I bet that doesn't even happen in a parallel universe. And apple going out of business? I mean even thinking like that shows your're insane! The richest company in the world that makes many of the best notebooks and has makes its own operating systems which are extremely secure and have almost everything the competition has to offer? (Exception:widgets and live wallpapers). I like android a lot but I hate the way apps have the liberty to do any s**t they want. Fraudulent apps are not even possible on iOS.

No one cares.

28. Sniggly posted on 04 Nov 2012, 01:27 3 1

Someone doesn't do their research. Companies rise and fall all the time. Just go ask GM and Kodak. Also, there's only so much apps can do on Android, which is why viruses as one thinks of them with Windows don't exist on Android or iOS.

You're as much of a dumbass as you claim "fandroids" are.

29. tedkord posted on 04 Nov 2012, 06:06 2 1

Speaking of impossible statements..."fraudulent apps aren't even possible in iOS."

Apparently you don't read much, or you'd remember an iOS developer who had his account suspended last year because his app transmitted your personal info to his server. He did it to force Apple to fix the hole, which he'd been telling them about for some time without any action.

Of course, you'd also know that whenever you install an android app, it lists all permissions the app uses, and the user must OK the install after. Unlike iOS which tells you nothing, including when your app has crashed.

Sorry to say.....but you sound like a Apple fanboy...some of the things you posted are not accurate.

33. cheetah2k posted on 05 Nov 2012, 20:24

Nah, but they do need to have an "Introduction to iPad" video tutorial on lauch so that dumb fk Apple iPad users don't think they've wrongly purchased a Galaxy Tab..

FFS, how people think these 2 tabs look the same in the first place is beyond me... I mean, seriously... WTF?

So Apple's new marketing strategy is to post 100% font, black and white legal statements about court cases, who knew? The fact they tried to pawn off their first apology attempt as "marketing" should have brought them a contempt action.

11. xfire99 posted on 03 Nov 2012, 12:45 2

Didnt Apple said it gonna take whole 2 weeks to write the form? lmao

14. sarb009 posted on 03 Nov 2012, 13:30 2

Didnt u know they have a team of liars(lawyers)

13. JunkCreek posted on 03 Nov 2012, 13:30

ABC = Apple Best on Court

17. rusticguy posted on 03 Nov 2012, 15:34 2

Surprising Tim Cook didn't come out and apologise for the "beta version" of the apology that was first published ... ideally they should have been pulled up for Contempt of court.

20. pongkie posted on 03 Nov 2012, 18:16 2

It's an acknowledgement not an apology.

21. someones4 posted on 03 Nov 2012, 19:05

the first part looks good. Then the subsequent parts stink...just like them (Apple)

22. tedkord posted on 03 Nov 2012, 19:22

That's so pretty, it's gotta be my new icon!

24. gallitoking posted on 03 Nov 2012, 22:39 3

don'nt see much of an apologise but that's the best part

30. LionStone posted on 04 Nov 2012, 07:23

hehe, i see an admission of guilt...spin it any way you want!

25. metoyou posted on 03 Nov 2012, 23:18

Is it just me that I couldn't find any word contain "Sorry" Apple just copy the "statement" from court !
