Samsung (or whomever) always tries to be first, rushing products to the market based solely on Apple rumored products.

Sure, the Apple Watch came after being long rumored (and Samsung coming out with their own a year prior); but it hasn't always worked well for the competition,  the best example being foldable phones. Apple has long been rumored to have a foldable iPhone, and many competing Android manufacturers (Samsung included) rushed their foldable phones to the market, expecting Apple to launch theirs.  Yet, several years later, foldable phones are not all the rage these days, and Apple does not appear ready to launch a foldable iPhone anytime soon! (one day they still may, perhaps, but I doubt this year!)
