All I needed was a minute with Samsung's new products in Paris last month to realize how similar the Galaxy Buds 3, Galaxy Buds Pro, and Galaxy Watch Ultra were to their Apple counterparts. They're not identical copies, but the inspiration is clear. While I think the Galaxy Buds 3 stem design is better than the previous Buds form factor, there's no question Samsung's Ultra watch mimics the Apple Watch Ultra series.
Everyone noticed the similarities, making it difficult for Samsung to defend itself against copycat claims. Samsung has blatantly copied Apple so many times before, especially in the early years of Galaxy phones. In hindsight, it was a brilliant move that set Samsung on course to dominate the industry. But nearly 20 years after the first iPhone, continuing to copy other Apple products isn't a good look for a tech giant that could just as easily develop its own design language for wireless earphones and smartwatches.
It's not just the media and consumers who are noticing Samsung's choice to copy the AirPods and Apple Watch Ultra designs. A report from Korea says that Samsung's big boss, chairman Lee Jae-yong, actually got angry at Samsung's mobile division that develops Galaxy products. Lee is supposedly upset with TM Roh, the head of the MX group.
