You do realise a lot of Apple users also own Android devices. The world is not black and white, and most people don't segregate themselves so decisively...
Yep, I would love to see Apple actually make a phone as good as the flagship android phones. Rather than say " our marketshare is slipping because they made better phones waaaaaa! "
From The Verge:
It's either good or bad for Apple. Are there any other possibilites?
Yes, a mixed verdict...
Yes, Apple must immediately discontinue sales of all Performa models in North and South Korea.
I wonder that if Apple wins, for the most part, that they'd have a few good jabs at Samsung on the 12 Sept event...
It's either good or bad for Apple. Are there any other possibilites?
Yes there are.
The Verge quote says:
It can also go just well or just poorly.
The fact that the jury has decided so quickly makes me think that it will be this way. It seems to me to have thing wrapped up this quickly they have probably decided completely in favor of one side or they other.
Probably not since federal courts aren't televised. I think it's The Verge or nothing.
If jury could not come to a unanimous decision, there would be a hung jury. That is basically a tie, and they can redo the case from scratch. Effectively, it would be a win for Samsung. However, this apparently didn't happen as per the title of the article.
If there are multiple claims, the jury could also split the decision by deciding for apple for some claims and against samsung for other claims. I have no idea how many claims there are, but it sounds like there is just one major one.
tl;dr: tie is unlikely. Probably a zero sum, apple or samsung victory situation here.
EDIT: it's been brought to my attention that there are multiple claims. Therefore, it is totally possible that Samsung won some and apple won others, so a "tie" is certainly possible. It is also possible that apple won some important claims, so they'll claim victory. I haven't followed the case very closely, so I'm not really sure.

100% agreed... be you an Apple fan, or a Samsung fan, things will forever change.
Enjoy the future of stymied innovation and $1000 dollar cell phones.
Ever wonder why you see so many pictures of the inside of the courtroom via a drawing? Yeah... no live coverage. lol. Maybe a nice painting of Apple's or Samsung's lawyers jaws dropping.
