Contrary to the headline and the article, Apple was not ordered, nor do they intend for their statement to be some sort of apology. Pretty sure the word "apology" was used to sensationalize the headline and stir up drama, or it could just be a poor diction. Apple was ordered to make a public notice to its website…

It's not supposed to be an apology. The judge ruled that Apple must make a public notice that Samsung did not copy Apple's design. They did all of that. No need to say sorry.

No you didn't. So you're saying Giz should add your worker comment at the end of every earnings article from every tech company? My point is that it goes without saying, because manufacturing in China is so ubiquitous with the tech industry. People keep making the same comments despite their always being a response…

So you think Amazon's terrible margins are because they pay higher wages to workers manufacturing the Kindles? Newsflash: every major tech company employs factory workers at low wages. Despite their being lower than a US worker equivalent, the workers still make over China's minimum wage. Last I checked from the FLA…

When we're talking that small, every inch counts. Plus it's measured diagonally so it really does add a lot of screen real estate. I know people gripe about the display resolution, but the functionality changes due to the larger display size. You can't just make a small display a higher resolution and expect the…

Oh yes, because Amazon and Google manufacture their products US, right??? No

iTunes music sales are slowing?? Last I heard, 2012 is the first year that digital sales will surpass physical copies. Doesn't sound so gloomy to me.

I'm sorry, I'm not alone in thinking you're response to that original comment is ironic. You can't deny you're saying there's something wrong with Apple by your "Android has proven to be better" comment. Right there you said there's something wrong, because you're saying consumers are choosing an inferior product. To…

I don't know much about Samsung products, but I know I'm not alone in mistaking them, at first glance, for an Apple product.

Maybe he doesn't want a screen that small.

I never thought I'd buy a Retina iPad , but after experiencing how much sharper the screen is compared to the 2, I decided to go for it. The difference between the 2, and the new iPad, is the difference between the 3GS display's and the 4.

I don't think it's immoral to own an iPhone 5 or any gadget from a major tech company, because the worker conditions are greatly improved from the examples you gave from the 90s. I don't agree with how Apple's the focus of every labor controversy when every tech company manufactures in these factories. Apple's not…

Yeah, I've never heard any of this. My only friend with a droid just got an iphone. I did used to tell him when his battery kept running out something like, "oh, I've still got 80% left." Guess my taunts worked.

Haha I literally laughed out loud reading your comment. You just proved him right.

I have to agree with bronch. Having already had Sprint, I just recently switched from AT&T to Verizon, and it's world's better than the other to in terms of coverage.

I'm going to choose to read that like you're not being sarcastic. As someone's who has owned a wall-mounted iMac, I liked that I can just put a small desk in front of it and plce the wireless mouse and keyboard on top. That's it. I don't need drawers, or cable organizers, or dedicated towers. In response to your…

Because "look and feel" sums up how other companies can copy Apple's designs. However, its an oversimplification to say rectangular with round edges. There's hundreds of details that all together amount to copying look and feel when taken in totality. Again, Apple gave examples of rectangular phones with icons and…

They're a business. Makes no sense to just throw the other guys a bone, and let them have the smaller tablet space. Those guys certainly didn't leave the larger tablet space to Apple, not willingly at least. If a new market emerges that could threaten the iPad, Apple has no choice but to compete. The iPad has already…

Not to add insult to injury, but Samsung was just found to infringe on four of Apple's patents today by the US ITC, which could lead to an import ban of Samsung. Not sure why Giz didn't cover that, but it looks like it's an anti-Apple day today; Maybe tomorrow they'll be pro-Apple again. I think what goes in court…
