At Samsung's recent Galaxy Unpacked event, numerous new products were introduced, but the spotlight is shining on the smartwatch and earbuds for all the wrong reasons. Criticisms have been raised by tech experts, YouTubers, and even loyal Samsung fans regarding the striking resemblance of these products to Apple's offerings. The Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Buds 3 series are being accused of being shameless copies of Apple's Apple Watch Ultra and Airpods, respectively. Not only does Samsung seem to be emulating Apple's design and naming scheme, but the similarities between the two rival products are hard to ignore. The criticism extends beyond social media, with mainstream outlets like The Verge and Business Insider also calling out Samsung for these apparent Apple clones. Despite other innovative releases, such as the foldable smartphone, Samsung's unoriginal approach with the smartwatch and earbuds seems to have overshadowed its other achievements at the event.
