The Airpods look like regular earphones with their cable cut. How could you stop importing products which follow the same principle?

Maybe if you sp... moreBluetooth headphones and earbuds been around long before Apple, What Apple did was to copy others, making them popular since once Apple does it... The trendies starts to say its cool! Before that BT headphones were for lame nerds ONLY! Now its for everyone thanks to Apple but they copied others so the argument is still mute.

Ok, then Apple needs to pay big time stilling xerox software for the first iPhone and stilling design prototype from Sony for the first iPhone!
Do you remember the scandal between Samsung and Apple? When Apple was forced by court to write on every publicity spot they had at that time informing people the software and design are from other companies!!

Maybe if you spent millions on developing a product, only to have the market flooded with cheap lookalikes six months after you went to market, you'd have a different opinion.

Let's wait and see how this develops.

While OnePlus Buds were clearly designed around Apple's AirPods, the confiscation was still completely unjustifiable.

1. The term "Counterfeit" is used for products that was made in exact imitation of others with clear intention to trick people into thinking that they are the original. This one literally said "OnePlus Buds" on the box with a red scheme and the company's logo printed on it, and even had an image of the actual earphones that clearly shows that this is not AirPods.

2. This product has been sold in the US market for quite a while now. What's the point for the Border Protection of doing this crap now?

3. Apple never, even once, sued OnePlus for releasing and selling this product worldwide, and they could've done it if there was need of it. Why? Because there's no IP infringement involved whatsoever. "A earphone with a white tube sticking out of the main body" is way too generic to register trademarks on.

So in the end, it feels like CBP is simply doubling down on their ignorance. What's even worse is that instead of apologising for their mistake, they are now trying to persuade people (including millions of tech enthusiasts who probably know those two brands and understand the situation better than whoever the person post the initial tweet) that what they did was valid. Ha, pathetic.

They also seize replacement batteries for Apple products, especially when they have an Apple logo, but nowadays even without a logo. Apple is fighting right to repair, as well as competition..

So, according to them, there should be only one company/manufacturer who makes a device of a particular type i.e. if Toshiba makes the first device that looks like a laptop, no other company is allowed to make laptops. If Motorola makes the first phone, no other company is allowed to make phones.

This is dumb.

There are kind of people who think TWS earphone means AirPods. When I showed my oppo o-free to one of my friends, he said "that's an AirPods". Oppo o-free doesn't even look similar in any way. I can't believe that those people exist in US customs.
