Is Samsung Really Copying Apple? You Decide
Unless you're living under a rock, you've probably heard about the unending back and forth between Samsung and Apple over alleged patent infringement. The two companies are fighting it out in courts located in various countries like Australia, Netherlands, Germany and the United States. Apple, to an extent, has had an upper hand in these cases successfully managing to obtain preliminary injunctions against Samsung products in a number of countries.

Samsung is copying apple in every aspect. First apple sued them, now they are suing apple back ... Such a copycat =)
-
Now have a look at this people-http://theiphonefever.blogspot.com/2011/09/other-designs-are-possible.html?m=1

I have felt that is a justfying about copycat. Absolutely, the simiarity is more than an effecteness.
-
Different os though.

i like the game "king of Tridor" very much,have you heard abouti it ?

Samsung is blatantly copying every aspect of Apple from design of the devices to the way they're packaged. They know it too. Anyone who says otherwise is just an Apple hater.It's one thing to take features and improve on them. It's a whole different thing to blatantly copy.

There are some spoof videos going around YouTube of a Samsung Galaxy G2 running iOS. Some say it's fake and just an iPhone with a Samsung sticker on it. Fact is these two devices look so similar it's hard to till if it's real or not :-)

Have u seen samsungs new laptops... Exactly the same as the MacBook air and pros...even the samsung sales teaam round where I live say it in their sales calls..." it's looks like apple" ...I'm a big fan of samsung and my house is full of their acs and tvs and screens and fridge...but they are just being plainly stupid....I used to think they had an edge ...not any more

Apple didn't invent rectangle, nor the was the first phone to have rectangular shape. There were Sony ericsson phones which were rectangular in shape with touchscreen which apple iphone is inspired.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_P900 If you talk about ipad, archos tablets were in the market much before apple could even think about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArchosThe only new thing is their UI. Apart from that there is a 1960's SCI-FI movie which shows that a ipad like device. So who is copying who???

yes like iOS 5 is a copy of Android
-
Why are they at Samsung so stupid an do so? I always thought they are only fighting because of the shape of the device itself, but EVERY piece looks similar to the iPad (Plug, box, connector,...). That a tablet is always flat and might have rounded edges its clear to me, but it looks really a lot of copying Apple. And last but not least they have the Apple AppStore-Logo on their wall in a shop....... ridiculous

recently played with a samsung android device which i dont remeber its name, the camera app looked exactly like the iphone app, the position of the buttons, how they looked what they did, a pure copy from apples camera app.irs a shame that a company so big as samsung cant really put some thought behind their products and they are rippign off what apple does.i am sure apple is pissed off by thier stance since they do buy lots and lots of components from them, not for long i guess, bravo samsung you just lost your bigger customer!
-
Could not Samsung think of their own. You cant blame them. Korean companies always do that. Hyundai has been doing it for years.

applefanboy+androidfanboy both idiot! do u agruing in every forum for what? hv u all guys get money?moron!

in asia...there is no such thing as copyright. there is only...copy-is-right
-
Read completely before posting your comments***And last but not least they have the Apple AppStore-Logo on their wall in a shop……. ridiculous***"The store however didn't belong to Samsung nor was its design in any way commissioned or approved by Samsung."So it is NOT Samsung which is doing all this. Things we dont know are the Samsung's 3G technology without which the iphone would have been just a music player.

it is easier to copy then to innovate.
-
Really who cares who copy whom. People always look for best product with lower price. Remember Apple copied too!
-
You don't have to live under a rock to realize their coping like a mofo
-
This is what I call cost effective!
-
iPhone 4 looks slot like Blackjack2
-
Copycating phones is just one thing out there. Look at cars r they next?
-
Funny...you say the OS is different but Android is a direct copy of iOS.
-
You have your facts wrong...once iOS was released...Google changed Android to copy Apple.
-
you know what would be funny if the iphone5 looks like the galaxy lol
-
Although it's obvious Samsung took their design queues from Apple, such things will never change. Not to mention apple is guilty of this as well. The app store, as well as multitasking features, hotspot connectivity, etc all come from various parts of the hacking community but apple continues to slowly integrate these things into their devices. It's good for us but at the same time, I doubt apple is paying anything to anyone for these ideas.

Maybe we should nuke every single mofo that copies anything that is original and set them back by, 30 years or so....starting with CHINA, yes CAPITAL, BOLD, ITALIC...CHINA.
-
And I take my comment back since everyfukin' thing is made in China...hell probably even Nukes.
