Apparently, I've missed the fact (discussed back in the spring) that the
pixel-shift technology used by K3-ii could've been infringing on Apple's
patent (application) of 2012.
See e.g. here:

Or read the patent application here:

If you missed all that like me, then you might also be interested to know
there were much earlier patent(s?) on the same or very similar ideas. E.g.
this one, filed in 1988:
