Samsung: We make fun of Apple until we copy them outright.
See also: removing ports, having a notch
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.
This device has a notch?
Also when did Samsung attack apple for using M1/M2/M3?
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).
