I think it does everything but apologise.
The judgement does not mention an apology, only a statement.

#12I thought they were required to in some way make the apology visible on their home page?
There is actually a minuscule link to the document at the very bottom of the http://apple.co.uk/ homepage, as "Samsung/Apple UK judgement" next to "Privacy Policy" and "Use of Cookies".

It is on the Apple UK homepage - right at the bottom: http://www.apple.com/uk/ ("Samsung/Apple UK judgement" link). Wonderfully its in a 'div' with a class 'sosumi'.

Re: Apple posts its UK apology to Samsung
#16Is there a reason the OP thinks this is the apology? It isn't named as such, the URL doesn't help, and they don't apologise at all. It's just a summary of their legal battles with Samsung. How has the OP come to the conclusion this is the apology (am I missing something)?

#17This does not say 'Samsung do not infringe on our patent', which I had thought it was supposed to. It says 'this judge who think s our stuff is cool also thinks Samsung do not infringe'
Either way the whole thing's ridiculous in the extreme. A flat panel with a screen isn't a novel design whoever made it, the magic is getting all the bits small and low-power and high resolution and bright and powerful enough for it to work.
-EDIT- The actual text as specified by the judge forms the first part of the page, the rest is Apple giving it a little PR spin and casting doubt on the whole thing.
Using the 1 billion US judgement as an example of how ou've been wronged is a bit of a stretch though, that thing's leakier than a colander.

#18Does anyone have a link to the actual order? If this is compliant, then the order is a joke.
Here you go: http://www.judiciary.gov.uk/Resources/JCO/Documents/Judgment... [Edit: sorry, that's the initial judgement. This, I believe, is the order regarding the apology: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Patents/2012/2049.html ]

#19"A judge said we must apology because we are cooler and so Samsung didn't copy because they aren't cool. But other judges said that we are cooler and Samsung still copied us! So we must be right!" Sincerely: a 6 year old.
I couldn't agree more, Apples response here is childish and to be quite frank doesn't do much in the way of apologizing to Samsung. I for one hope that they get found in contempt of court for this, I doubt very much it's what the presiding judge had in mind.

I hope I will be forgiven a me-too comment for once; but this is a really, really childish response.
When your big advantage is that you and your products exude class where others don't, gloating about it like a little kid just feels very wrong.
