People are always critical that Android makers are copying Apple. What innovation has Apple brought to iPhones recently? Thinner - yes, a newer camera - yes, increased speed in opening Safari - yes. Higher pricing to make it look cooler and more exclusive to the editorial writer here who says higher prices are better - yes. Beyond that? Not much between my current iPhone and the 6 I have as a backup. 

Since the topic is fold-able display, let's talk about Apple's innovation in this area.

Apple's idea of applying the fold-able display technology is to have it bend over and tug behind itself at the bottom of the screen to remove the chin that you see in every "edge-to-edge" Android phone.

Is Apple's way of applying fold-able display technology sexy or buzz-worthy? Not really. 

But is it innovative? I would think so.

Is it creative? Absolutely.

A patent holder can sue anyone along the chain of alleged infringement.  In this particular instance, CIT can sue Broadcom who made the chips, Apple who uses the chips, and even end users who use the products that use the chips.  Obviously, there's no strategic advantage to suing end users or shipping companies that move the chips or any of the other ancillary touch points.  

I know you're probably saying to yourself, "but that's not fair".  You'd be right, but it would be pointless to make that observation.  The laws as currently constructed say that it's legal.  Here's a classic example of legal but even more unfair:  Microsoft v Datatern.  End users sued.

Typically speaking, won’t the indemnification clause in the contract between parties be protecting the downstream party from being sued or suffering any penalties for the wrongdoing of the upstream party?

I am lucky enough that Arlo firmware update was successful and added to Apple's Home app. At this time, I can see all my camera feeds in Home app. However, I haven't figured out how to get Home automation to work with Arlo... I cannot arm or disarm the system from Home app, so I cannot tie any of my scenes to Arlo. In their press release, it says "allowing users to include Arlo cameras into their custom scenes or automations." Would appreciate if any one who has figured it out to share.

Your lucky.....mine says uncertified accessory and cannot be added. How did you it? Please share

REPOST since the formatting was wrong in my previous reply. 

I WAS lucky. First, I was at home, I remember I launch Arlo, went to Settings -> HomeKit, and it displayed the same screen as if I went to Settings -> My Devices -> Home -> HomeKit Setup (more on that later). It said Discovering your device. Please wait. And in the Device found pane, my base unit showed up, I clicked and it discovered all cameras associated with the base unit. - I did not upgrade my firmware ahead of time. I don't even know what firmware it was using before today. - Now when I click on Settings -> HomeKit, it shows an empty page except for controls up at the top. When I click on the gear icon, i shows my current home, option to add a new home, and Reset HomeKit. - I don't know if that makes a difference, I have other HomeKit accessories and I have been using HomeKit before Arlo. I hope this helps someone.
