I've defended Samsung relentlessly before, but after seeing this smoking gun evidence, I can't trust anything they say anymore. Samsung was telling themselves that their app drawer copied the iPhone icon concept. They asked themselves to change it. What happened? They doubled down. This is shameful and they must be punished severely. Apple is asking for $2.5 Billion. Triple damages would be $7.5B. I think halfway, at $5B would be a lenient penalty.
