I mean, the earbuds look like a ripoff, I guess, but there are only so many designs for an earbud, and the similarity is driven a lot by the color.
The watch is clearly unique.

The body of the watch is very unique. But the watchband is a definite rip-off.
Did Apple invent the band? I wouldn't even know how to source pre-existing watch band designs, but I would swear stuff like that existed long before smart watches.
Of course they didn't.
Bands like that exist for a very, very long time, mostly on 'manly' watches (for outdoor, pilot watches, etc).
But in this context, yeah they seem to be just copying what Apple did, probably looking at it as a safe bet. So silly.
Apple has so many bands you'd almost always find something similar. It's not like that's the first thing that shows on the Apple Store.
What took then so long - everyone's been cloning the iPhone for many years...
Lol, you must've missed the early lawsuits by apple on samsung.
how is the watch similar to apple? maybe the shape but that's about it.
and the galaxy buds? like how many ways can you make ear buds. apple didn't invent ear buds.
Apple didn't invent earbuds. But, samsung had a distinct bean shaped design before launching the current generation earbuds.
Even the circular watch ultra was forced in a square case with an orange strap.
You are more likely to be mistaken to be using an Airpods and apple watch ultra than a Samsung earbuds and Samsung watch Ultra.
The mobile division is not innovating, they are iterating. The issue may be more than color selection and the shape of things; Apple is making new products from new ideas and Samsung isn't.
the majority of apples new features were things in android for like ten years
Haha haha haha haha.....
...oh wait....you're being serious.
