More importantly with Xiaomi now in the mix there is a new vender to go after.
Against what? Icons in ads or keynote's "one more thing"?

Are you serious? A chamfered edge? I despise this company.

As a consumer, why do you care if Samsung goes under? It's not going to do you any good. You probably don't work for Apple or have stock in them. So why?
And whole lot more. Typical strawman, pick one element, point out it's not a big deal (previous example: rounded corners). This would be true if it were the only design element copied, but it isn't. You're just ignoring all the other similar elements that when combined, result in a remarkably similar device.
What does this mean exactly if it doesn't include the United States?
Well. It is about time.
Maybe some of that money can go to R&D
More like
Apple: let's stop the suits
Samsung : I agree
Apple : great!
Samsung : now can you stop copying us?
Apple: I guess

That's funny. Copying Samsung?? ha ha. Samsung is a master of all masters when it comes to copying.
So will Samsung be pulling the Alpha which looks really inspired by the iPhone 5?

Negotiations probably went like this.
Apple: lets stop the suits
Samsung: Okay
Apple: So can you stop copying us from today onward at least?
Samsung: No, we just finished getting the iPhone 5 copy ready though. How about next year?
Though , If you bothered to pay attention to the industry that both apple and Samsung produce products you will realise that a lot of "borrowing" occurs from all parties involved these days..
I guess you have not heard if the galaxy S5. That's what the alpha looks like. I thought it was suppose to be S5 with metal instead of plastic.
Yeah, exactly. Look at smartphones before and after 2007. We take all the first iPhone features for granted today. I'm not even going to post that picture because I'm sure everyone here knows what picture I'm referring to.
Well. It is about time.

This argument is getting tiresome and the picture you're referring to is probably one with all the cherry-picked examples that conveniently omits pre-iPhone all-touchscreen phones like the SonyEricsson P800 and LG Prada on the "before" side and equally conveniently omits non-all-touchscreen phones like the HTC ChaCha on the "after" side.
I know Blackberry with their qwerty keyboards were big in North America but in many parts of the world they were not and before the iPhone there was an obvious trend towards bigger and bigger screens and less and less buttons. The iPhone may have leapfrogged the evolution but that doesn't change the fact that everyone understood this was where things were heading.
The all-touchscreen concept was not introduced by the iPhone (SE P800 is from 2001) and standard smart phone features like 3rd party apps and 3G connectivity were obviously not either.
Every single flagship had qwerty. Every single high end device had qwerty.
The phones you mention were experiments, not the center flagships.
We have what we have today thanks to the iPhone. The iPhone showed the way. Multi-touch is what it is because of the iPhone. Operating systems are what they are because of iOS.

Apple is going to take chip fab away from sammy and that will hurt more than lawsuits. Add in pressure from China and they are getting squeezed from multiply sides. Hope they go under.
