Apple takes battle with Android to the next level

Apple is one of the most powerful tech firms on the market right now. For a moment, it was the most valuable company in the USA (surpassing Exxon Mobil) but its recent assault on its major rival makes it look increasingly weak. Over the past few months, Apple has filed lawsuits against Samsung, HTC, Motorola and other Android users, accusing them of violating Apple’s patents. The targets may be varied, but it ultimately boils down to Apple Vs Google. The archrivals have been targeting each other for a long time now, and are being forced to compete on each other’s turf. Apple’s onslaught may seem like a strategic move to cut out the opposition, but critics are saying it smacks of desperation.
