Although previous rulings have determined that the South Korean manufacturer should pay up, the amount of the damages hadn't been decided on. While Apple says the company should pay over a billion dollars, Samsung has argued that a more realistic figure is around $28 million (£20 million). "Today’s decision flies in the face of a unanimous Supreme Court ruling in favour of Samsung on the scope of design patent damages," Samsung said in a statement. "Apple ignited the smartphone revolution with iPhone and it is a fact that Samsung blatantly copied our design."
