ios itself isn't the pinnacle of originality in the first place and Android was quite different both in terms of looks and functionality right from the start.
So no it wasn't a direct copy, at most it was inspired by some element found in ios, that can hardly be called a direct copy.
They want Apple to pay what they owe them so I think we are going to see a lot more petty moves until they get paid what they think they are owed.
Prepare for more expensive iPhones. Saint Cook Will find reasons to compensate.
1. Amuses me how many Apple haters hang on Apple related sites just to bag Apple. Guess they can’t get their jollies on Android sites.
2. Ignored by all the ‘make Apple Pay.. ‘ posters is this whole thing started because Qualcomm (alone in the industry) knowing they have essential patents forces all users of their IP to pay twice. They charge the manufacturer of the phone a royalty for use of the IP, then an obscene amount to buy the chip from them. AND to make matters worse charge royalty on the whole value of the phone, not just on their chips/IP component. In effect if a manufacturer pays another IP holder a royalty for say a fingerprint sensor, Qualcomm also takes a royalty on top of that, for something nothing to do with them.
That is what Apple and many governments object to. Qualcomm is fighting to the bitter end because they know if they lose against Apple all the other manufacturers will ride Apples deep pocket coattails and demand fairer royalties.
And that, children (and Apple haters) is why Qualcomm deserve to lose, in fact must lose.

What does “mainly won” mean? I just gave you a list of other countries where they won.
Because Apple sued in every market they both exist, and lost most of them outside the US, I also question those cases you mention...

That's not true at all. They won infringement determinations in more than half the jurisdictions they sued in. You're just making stuff up.
Just an addition, the patents that Qualcomm used in this attempt were not ones developed by Qualcomm, but bought by them for the specific purpose of attacking Apple. Samsung did the same during their stoush with Apple...bought up patents they thought would help them.
In Qualcomm’s case, all about distracting from the fact the US govt is taking them to court in Jan for illegal practices, and other countries have already found them guilty, plus the class action. On first glance the class action looks a winner as based on already being found guilty in multiple countries of the double dipping and predatory practices mentioned in my previous post.
I foresee a Qualcomm loss, triple damages based on willfully continuing behaviour, and even SEC charges based on clearly false statements on settlement being close.

they not just pure supply vendor for apple. A lot of company bankrupt to rely on one job apple.
What's there to prove if the court decisions speak for Apple? You are really weird - and frustrated, it seems.
Ah so people should take the word of random strangers on the internet as gospel then?
Lol it is not.. thank god it is not. have you seen android at all??
we probably see a msg in twitter ”i just used my veto for apple”

Confucius fortune cookie say, "You can't take it with you, but what you did may follow you just the same."
No government regulator would ever sign off on it.
And Qualcomm is largely responsible for creating the communications standards everyone seems to take for granted.
You seem to understand the difference but still think design patents should be worth billions. Crazy.
Where did I say it should be worth billions? It’s worth what it can be licensed for.
