2. If you own any Android phone, not necessarily a Samsung model

After winning this patent war, Apple is high in psychological confidence. It is predicted that it could go on to sue Google and its phone partners.

JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth called the verdict "a setback for the Android ecosystem" in a note to clients on Monday, warning that both Google and its partners "will likely now have to work around certain features of the operating system and their devices."

Android users could see those workarounds in a software update that changes how some features work.

3. If you're looking to buy a new phone and are worried about buying a Samsung

No need to worry in this case as the final ruling on this trial could come long after your new smartphone becomes old. Even if an injunction is granted against Samsung's devices, there's a strong possibility that ruling will be postponed by a higher court, when the South Korean company appeals.

4. If you own or are interested in buying a Samsung tablet

There is good news for you. The jury ruled that Samsung's Galaxy Tab tablets did not infringe on Apple's design patents for the iPad. That means the Tab's hardware style and icon layout are allowed to stay the same. But the software infringements apply here, so like Samsung phones, the tablets could receive changes to their features.
