Its a never ending saga between those two, the amount of legal people they must employ just to constantly sue each other...

However - it seems people are getting tired of new smart phones. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/23/smar...asons-why.html

Not the first article I read citing consumer fatigue in the mobile market, people are getting tired of too many new releases, minor improvements, and ever higher prices.
Apparently the only major smart phone manufacturer to see any growth in 2017 was Xiaomi - a Chinese company that's makes budget smart phones that more or less have the same functionality as an Apple or Samsung, but for much lower price and quality.
