Most of the Android makers don't even have any innovation. They simply 
lazily wait for Apple to do something and then copy it, and usually 
make a mess of it in the process ... and that includes the big brands 
like Samsung who recently copied Apple's Airpods and Watch, just one of 
their many Apple knock-offs over the years ...

    "The Galaxy Watch Ultra follows in the Apple Watch Ultra's
     footsteps. It looks different with its circular display,
     but nearly all of its upgrades are inspired by (or copied
     directly from) Apple's flagship watch."
