The launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Buds 3, and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro has stirred controversy due to their striking resemblance to Apple’s Watch Ultra, AirPods 3, and AirPods Pro 2.
According to South Korean reports, Samsung Chairman Jay Y. Lee is unhappy with the mobile division’s apparent copying of Apple designs. He has reportedly taken action against TM Roh, the head of the mobile division.
The similarities between Samsung’s new products and Apple’s have drawn significant media attention, contributing to the Chairman’s frustration. Lee has ordered changes within the mobile division to prevent future incidents.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra’s rounded design and the Galaxy Buds 3’s stem design mark a departure from Samsung’s traditional styles, increasing the controversy.
Additionally, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro has faced quality control issues, with users reporting damaged ear tips.
