There’s enough meat to this story to make it seem credible.  The company is definitely not a patent troll.

If everything turns out to be true, it’s not a good look, and it’s more than just a disagreement on patent validity...

It’s full blown IP theft, which I despise.

I think Corephotonics has no case if the Apple patents are valid.
The iPhone 7 came out years ago, so why didn't they sue?  Because they knew that they had no case.
Many of the cell phone cameras have similar technologies but once key features are patented and the patent are valid, that's it.
You can't sue a company for using their own valid patented technologies instead of yours.

Please read the full article, full timeline is given. They did sue apple for patent infringement within an year (after attempting talks for a few months). Apple was engaged with them for 4yrs before they brought the tech out into an iphone. Their patents are older, and they have had the tech since 2012.

Prima-facie this looks like a strong case, and possibly even legitimate.

Well, bottom line is that if the patents are essentially duplicates (and I doubt that they are) then Corephotonics can challenge the Apple Patents to get them invalidated.
If Corephotonics cannot do that then they are toast.

Facebook does not know what to do with itself.
It's blindly copying others and may get itself into a lot of trouble.

This is great. All ad supported Hulu users should convert since the ad supported Hulu alone costs almost 12 bucks. The DIsney+ and ESPN+ On top is hard to beat.  Go Disney. The question is does it fall under the Apple family plan?

Trump buys Chinese Steel for construction
Surely he can understand why most companies manufacture in China.

If Trump was smart, he would figure out a way to win manufacturing back to the US not force them back with a trade war.
I predict that Tesla will move its US manufacturing to China.
