This tends to go against the emotional marketing which Apple has been so good at using in the past.
I suspected that as Apple products grew in popularity, the brand would have difficulty maintaining their cool-factor. It is difficult to be the coolest and the most popular, though they have done an admirable job so far.
The challenge is that as the die-hards rely on quoting user stats, stock prices and other non-emotive data which proves to them that their choice of brand is the 'best', they will fail to engage the true tastemakers who care more about being unique and a leader than being one of the herd.
Apple played right into their hands with that ridiculous court case that went on for months filling up the pages of just about every tech blog and news resource.
Seriously: I've had people who literally know from shit and do not give a shit share their opinion on tech patents with me.
Samsung is playing one ofthe smartest games I have ever seen in this space. Super, super sharp.
