The battle between Android and iOS dates back many years, with die-hard fans of the operating system on each side.
Today, The Wall Street Journal has published a documentary about 15 years of the iPhone, where an Apple executive criticizes Samsung for copying the iPhone.
The criticism comes from Apple’s chief marketing officer, Greg Joswiak, responding to a question about how Samsung’s competitor products affected Apple in the early days of the iPhone.
[Samsung era] upset. And they were annoying because, as you know, they copied our technology. They took the innovations that we had created and created a bad copy of it, and just put a bigger screen around it. So yeah, we weren’t very happy.
Apple sued Samsung for infringing its patents in 2011 and, in March 2018, the Korean company was sentenced to pay $539 million for patent infringement.
For its part, Samsung maintains that the company has been a pioneer in many aspects, such as the water resistance of its smartphones or large OLED screens.
