Apple (AAPL) has posted their latest apology to Samsung as ordered earlier last week by a judge in the UK. This time around Apple kept it short and very to the point: “the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9 and Tab 7.7 do not infringe Apples Community registered design No. 0000181607-0001.”
The updated notice is considerably shorter and contains no references to the coolness factor or other patent suit issues in the US or Germany.
The full statement from Apple is available below.
