Well, I’ll be danged.

That is obviously an exact copy.

Inside and out.

Give up, Apple, you are strudel.

Well, you can only do so much in a package that size. Apple is famous for their copying expertise. Their logistics and tax dodging is what keeps them in the game, not their software or new ideas.

Winning in a local court in China isn’t necessarily uncommon for Chinese companies. Indeed, several lawsuits by Chinese companies against U.S. technology giants including Apple and Tesla TSLA , haven’t turned out so well in lower courts for the American firms. However, when the cases reach a higher court, they’re often overturned. Exactly why there’s such a difference in rulings across lower courts and higher courts is unknown.

Political correctness. It is known... very well. China has a China-first policy. You can expect to lose when you go to court there. It's nice that the higher-ups take a more broad-minded view but that doesn't change the motivation. More than likely, the lower courts are fishing for kick-backs that probably materialize by the time the case reaches the higher courts and the American companies figure out the game.

Apple deserves this for offshoring production to a country where the rule of law is not worth a bucket of warm spit.

Eventually the Chinese are going to bite the hand that feed them. It is their nature.

So a Chinese company created a knock off and then has the cojones to sue Apple Geezers man
