John Jackson, an analyst with CCS Insight, said Samsung is essentially Apple’s only real tablet competitor at this stage.
“It’s clear that they do not intend to let Apple run away with the category,” Jackson said.
In its lawsuit against Samsung, Apple noted that earlier versions of Samsung smart phones did not embody the same combination of Apple’s designs.
“Even the icons in earlier versions of the Samsung smart phones looked different because they had a variety of shapes — and did not appear as a field of square icons with rounded corners,” the lawsuit said.
