The devices Apple managed to get banned
The trial between Apple and Samsung might have just started, but the legal battles fought by the company from Cupertino have been going on for months. When you think about the time, resources and effort put by Apple into all of these lawsuits, the result in the form of banned devices actually seems fairly small. Truth be told, Apple managed to get a few devices off the shelves for a limited amount of time in various parts of the world, but we wouldn't say that the effect was exactly what Apple wanted.

So, which were those devices that fell victims to the legal battles between Apple and pretty much everyone else? Exactly which devices did Apple manage to get banned? The gallery we've put together below will show you just that...

Dear Apple, banning other products doesn't mean that people with brain will buy your products. Sincerely everybody with a brain that works.

They got it banned by paying bribes to judges, bribing billions of dollars to eye witnesses.. stupid company.. they know their products are not as good, so ban the competitors because they might eat the market share!!! looking at ANY tablet the shape is similar... Apple really really greedy!!

Android is here to survive.
Apple is gonna be hit big time *BIG TIME* by Windows Phone 8.
and they would not be able to sue them. I hope Apple learns its lesson soon.

Trust me, they will find a reason to sue them. Are their phones square??? Offer email? There you are...

Banning the Galaxy Nexus was probably the second best thing that ever happened to that phone (JB the best, of course). People like myself who were on the fence about getting this phone went ahead and purchased it. All Apple did was create a buzz about the phone and made people curious about it when they probably wouldn't have bothered before.

On a different note, good job on banning the Tab 7.7, I almost bought one because it looks exactly like the iPad! Apple has become the tool of the electronics industry, banning products just because they will look like their soon to be released products.

Mostly samsung products are being banned, apple realized that samsung will be their biggest competitor that's why they aggresively suing it. Sad to say this doesn't stop samsung to create better products as well as other companies. I'm sure samsung learned a lesson now, they will continue innovations and advancement of technology. Lets see next year if apple still be able to ban products, I'm sure again it will never happen anymore. Lessons learned.

Hope one or more companies decides to bann apple products and see how it feels like.

Getting some of the devices banned could help Apple to make further claim against Samsung's other devices and eventually be more convincing for the copycat accusation to the jury. There is a bigger game here.

Apple is already out of innovation which is why they are trying to ban devices. Stupid Apple.
