Apple Pulls All Withings Accessories From Apple Online Store Following Nokia Lawsuit

A thief doesn't need a court order to take your car.

Before collapse Nokia was too busy tweaking headphone and power connectors while competition drew ahead...

Sounds somewhat today's Apple btw...

Your reply is completely irrelevant. God!

Your reply is completely irrelevant. God!

It is if the reader does not understand what's written.

Let's open the analogy a little bit:

Apple is the thief, who took Nokia's patents and is using them as they will... without permission. Apple don't need a court order for that act (this was something mentioned in the post I replied)... it is illegal anyway. They'd be happy to dodge legal actions similarly as a person who stole a car for a taxi business.

The second part of my post pointed just to the plain sad truth why Nokia disappeared from the mobile phone business. They were concentrating in irrelevant features in their phones, little tweaking here and there... similar as Apple today is lost with their colors and headphone connetor-less phones. They're still on top of the hill, so let's see where it goes... Nokia took a nose dive.

Was there something else needing explanation?

PS. As a non-native speaker something is always lost in translation...

So is it "petty" that Microsoft stores don't sell iPhones?

Is Disney wrong for not putting Shrek on its shelves?

Your analogy isn't valid. None of the removed products directly compete with Apple products - they are complimentary.

Closer to your analogy would be Apple removing Fitbit from its stores in the lead up to the release of the watch - that I can kind of understand but the current move is just petty.

This doesn't seem childish to me. Why generate income for a hostile entity, against your own interests, that is actively trying to destroy your primary line of business? If I were a still a stockholder, I would demand this.

You make it sound like two warring nations are about to wipe each other out with nukes. Apple doesn't lose anything buy selling their products and as a shareholder I would like Apple to make money, unless Apple are trying to twist someones arm into dropping a lawsuit. There are other organisations which intimidates or make people disappear outside the courts, I don't think Apple is one of those.
