How the hell did they get the rights to this when Samsung brought out a press conference about this tech nearly a year ago at the CES (http://www.cesweb.org/) last year. Here's their press conference
The idea i mean to get across is based on the curiosity of how Apple has the right to patent a Technology they were not first to develop. Who did they pay off?

If they are using the same method - Samsung would need to show they had developed the technology before the filing date of Nov 5, 2010.

It's not the curved glass itself that Apple patented, it's the process In which they make the curved glass touch display. Remember that there's more than one way to skin a cat.
A convex shaped screen is probably the dumbest idea I've seen, in that, because it doesn't lie flat, you'll have a line of scratches at the apex of the screen, etc. It would make more sense to have a convex shaped device that follows the general shape of the face so that the earpiece stays on your ear, and the mic will be closer to the mouth, so when your busy screaming obscenities at your soon-to-be ex for leaving the toilet seat up in the middle of the night, and you are, unexpectedly, washing your butt in cold toilet water, at least you won't have to pull it away from your ear while you're busy blasting away...
Sure, but… who puts their phone face down anywhere and who has a granite countertop with grit to it?
Shame on me but I did it to an old phone not thinking. Even if a surface is clean and smooth, if the surface is harder than gorrila glass, it will scratch it. If you look at most phone cases, many have a bevel around the edge that keeps the glass from touching down even if its placed face down. I wonder what cases will look like for convex screens... If the display is concave like this bananaphone http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/26/lg-g-flex-hands-on/ then placing it face down will not not cause the display to touch-down, even without a case.
no matter the price-point they will be the most expensive
Do we really need more "copying" comments?

?No, that’s not an error. I literally just copied and pasted.
Actually you would be right on this one. Trying to determine the exact semantics might take a little while, but there is a specific list under "what is claimed is".

i find it ironic that you copied my post for your comment while ignoring the point i was making.

Find me a similar process in use or a patent that describes more or less the same process.

Just a musing...

something tells me that when they do:
they will by copying
no matter the price-point they will be the most expensive

I guess he meant to say, "dirt covered concrete floor".

Lack of sleep clouds my reading comprehension and judgement, dark side of the force, etc....
Now that you point it out, it is amusing.
can't wait for this to come out
