- Why Apple should copy Samsung
On Wednesday, Samsung unveiled a slew of products at its Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris — and one product in particular stood out.
The Galaxy Ring stood above Samsung’s new phones, smartwatches and earbuds for a couple of reasons — starting with it not being a shameless design ripoff of Apple’s products.
It actually looks like a clever and useful fitness-tracking device. In an initial “hands-on” post, The Verge raved about the ring, saying it might be “the one ring to rule them all.”
Which prompted Cult of Mac writer Ed Hardy to argue that Apple should copy Samsung for once
According to Ed, here’s why Cupertino’s next new product should be a smart ring.

Foodies rejoice. Apple TV+’s new Omnivore food documentary is a feast for the eyes.
Another early Prime Day deal has savings on Apple Watch Series 9 and SE.
Apple already expects Apple Intelligence will make the upcoming iPhone 16 a big hit.
Ed also hands-on reviewed a high-end leather case for his beloved iPad. He gave DodoCase’s English Bridle Leather iPad Case the full five out of five stars.

Every day I come into Grand Central I see Apple Vision Pro demos happening, still going strong 5 months later.
I can only imagine how many total demos they’ve given— is it possible Apple has already introduced more people to HMDs than every other headset manufacturer combined ?

One more thing ...
The organization is clean and simple to understand, and very accountable. Everything just got simpler. That's been one of my mantras -- focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.
