Don't confuse between copy and innovate. they are both the same product but has different results.
Apple use existing technologies and innovate to the next level where it is easy to use and work for most casual user.
Samsung follows and copies iphone features. most of the time, Samsung copy version does not work well nor easy to use, a gimmick. it is just a me too on the spec list for comparison.
they even copy down to the name and color that have nothing to do with technology or innovation:
1) Apple Pay then comes Samsung Pay, even Walmart Pay
2) Rose Gold then comes Samsung Rose Gold
3) Apple touch ID then come Samsung fingerprint scanner
4) 6 plus then samsung Galaxy 6 Plus
how can Samsung innovates when they don't even write their own operation system? phone is so small and complex that requires both hardware and software fully integrated and baked in from the concept to design.

And Apple filed there patent before Samsung did. And also released the feature first. But we all know Samsungs version will a 100% copy of Apples 3D Touch. No different than when Samsung copied Touch ID.
It's really not "people", it's the people who defend Apple like it's their mother. Outside of them, noone cares.
Yeap pretty much a click bait article with the usual ignorance. Let's all forget how Apple was NOT the first to announce a 3D touch screen phone.
But ignorance is bliss, or in the case of bashing Samsung it's the koolaide man!

It's amazing the short, selective memory of people and not understanding this.
Just like how Motorola's finger print scanner was somehow, different, just because it wasn't stuck inside a button...
But hey that's the norm for this site
It will also be quite interesting to see the effect of the Supreme Court refusing to hear (yes, they will refuse) the appeal, and it's effect on their innovation.
Just how different would their implementation of a "3D" Touch need to be for Apple to ignore? Perhaps $500-800 Million in damages every 4-5 years is in the budget?
IMO, the type of display will determine the litigation.
Since Huawei had it first, I don't see Apple going anywhere with this.It will also be quite interesting to see the effect of the Supreme Court refusing to hear (yes, they will refuse) the appeal, and it's effect on their innovation.

Edit: This was already pointed out.
I am of the opinion that copying is not all that bad, outright copying is bad. But improvisations and making it your own might help push the technology forward and help with some use cases that Apple might have missed, which, might help push the technology to become mainstream.

And also pointed out several times, is that Apple wasn't the first with this. Huawei was.
