"smaller" yes, that is very relative, Only compared to apple and a few others would a 2 Billion dollar company be considered small LOL.
Either way I am not for stealing IP in any way, but I did manage to get my Ultra 2 Watch before the 21st
I am sure this will be resolved in the next 30-60 days, but it will not be a software fix.
Apple was already able to get an emergency stay order on the watch until mid January, so they better do something.
