Both examples ( arm laptop and tags) was literally already done by Samsung ..

Samsung was also earlier with the smartwatch for example. What else in the past 10 years? Earbuds!

Note: iPad and IPhone was earlier, but that's already more than 10 years ago. Where the first tablet was way ahead of it's time: 1989 with the GRiDPad 1900.

Yes but Samsung copied the iPhone so closely that they lost a 7 year $1 billion lawsuit and ended up settling out of court after appealing to the Supreme Court

They almost exactly copied the major UI features in violation of the patents so it goes well beyond whether someone had made any kind of tablet before

The Galaxy Book Pro (well at least they changed one word from Mac Book Pro) has always been a close emulation of the MacBook line as well

Halve a billion about round edges imo.

And an Ultrabook is just a thin laptop, Apple doesn't have any patents there, because they were not the first in that. Notice book being in the actual generic name?

Not a strong argument for over 20 years...

Who even said: good artists copy, great artists steal? :)
