Apple will never quit with their lying, cheating, steeling, copying, boasting, tyraning, bullying, pigheadedness.
Iphone is not the original anything and never will be. It was bearly ever innovative and the biggest trend it started would be apps got more popular and izombies just grew to millions within seconds. The galaxy s has some similar features but is not a copy and is 1000000000000000000000000000000xinfinity better and always will be. Apple is big because of a name, money, bullying, and conformity. That's it.

    lapax, 26 Jun 2011I have to admit, it just looks to darn similar and the argu... moreAss! The argument is that they a simple design phones that happen to look SLIGHTLY similar due to that fact. Minimal desing and minimal extra detail. Just flat rounded phones that a slim and dominated by screens

      Anonymous, 26 Jun 2011button in middle round edges equals the Iphone. so they hav... moreSo only because a phone have a button in the middle under the screen it's an iPhone copy?

      Don't try to make you look more stupid than you already are.

      Every smart phones, or most of the smart phones today use a button in the middle under the screen.

      So is every smartphones a copy of iPhone then?

      No, the fact is that even smart phones that was out many years before the first iPhone was out used a button in the middle under the screen.

      So the fact is that Apple copied them. And now Apple is suing other brands because they are copying them?

      The only logical explanation here is that someone did bite Apple in the balls and made them butthurt because someone is much much better than Apple.

      By how you are telling us on how thing are, then no one can use a wheel on different cars, because that are copying other brands placement of the wheels.

      No one can use the brand name / logo under the screen on TV's because they are copying other brands placement of the names / logos.

      No one can the same QWERTY keyboard on laptops and normal keyboards, because the different brands are copying each others.

      No one can round edges on the back of the car, because you are copying other brands that also use round edges on the back of their cars.

      But this isn't a problem for you guys that EVERYONE is copying each others here?

      It's ONLY a problem when someone use a standard on how to make smartphones today and then makes a phone that looks "somewhat similar" to an iPhone.

      Apple didn't invent the smartphones, so APple doesn't have anything to say on how others should make phones.

      Samsung made phones many many years before Apple sis make it's first iPhone.

      So when it comes to the conclusion, then it's Apple that should stop copying others, because that's the only thing they do now, to copy others.

      Android Notification system is a good example of copying Android in iOS 5.

        ALonZo, 26 Jun 2011My friend if I come across like an Apple "fanboi"... moreYou know that the iPhone 4 looks stupid when 40% of the front is used for nothing and 60% is used for the screen?

        A phone like Samsung Galaxy S II looks much better when it can use most of the front to the screen.

        If you looks at old touchscreen phones from 2004-2005 and then looks on how much wasted space that is used in the front instead of using the whole or most of the front to the screen, then you will see that the front design on the iPhone 4 is old and outdated.

        Modern smart phones use most of the front space to the screen only.

        Ofc, having glass as a back and fron cover on the iPhone 4 looks nice, but it doesn't means it's looking modern or futuristic only because of the glass.

        I'm a design freak all the way. And why do you think i actually own the new 11.6 inch MacBook Air?

        And why do you think i own a 32 inch design LED-TV (White) from Samsung?

        So i know what design and modern looking is.

        Anyways, back to the point. Samsung Galaxy S II and iPhone 4 are far from being any copies. They are totally different in every ways. I have hold both of the phones in both of my hands at the same time, so i know they aren't copies.

        Yes, like i said, i own a Galaxy S II now and some of my friends have an iPhone 4, so i have tried the iPhone 4 out quite alot.

              if you had read my comment properly u would have seen the fact i said the whole arguement is pointless.

You see, I respect both OS's but most people wont disgreee that Samsung have clearly taken a leaf outta Apple's book for both external and UI designs. Yeah I agree the Samsung GS2 looks nothing like an iPhone 4. But to say the Galaxy GS2 looks more futuristic than an iPhone 4 is a weird comment!!! ha ha

                    I have physically owned a Galaxy S2 and thoroughly used an iPhone 4, the iPhone is streets better in looks. The GS2 is a lovely looking handset, very slim, but not so solid in build quality.

                    People who slate Apple and think iPhones are inferior and rubbish and etc.... clearly have never touched an iPhone or are just kidding themselves BIG TIME!!!!

                    The iPhone is the premier phone out there and obviously for a good reason.....

                              samsung doesnt intended to copy the iphone 4 or ipad or whatever.. afterall, why you should mimic a boring phone? it sucks!! samsung has the credibility. hooray galaxy s!!!! by the way its my phone.... LOL!!!!!!!

                                But saying the Galaxy S II looks similar to iPhone 4 is the most funny thing i have ever heard.

                                I have the Galaxy S II my self and some of my friends have an iPhone 4 and they looks totally different.

                                If you think the Galaxy S II looks like an iPhone 4, then i'm sorry to inform you that you have been totally bitten by Apple's poor propaganda that have manipulated you to think that different companies are copying iPhones just because they have round edges or a button in the middle under the screen and so on.

                                Galaxy S II looks much more modern and futuristic than the iPhone 4 do.

                                    AnonD-10064, 26 Jun 2011samsung is always copycat, for example the lg optimus 2x or... moreApple do it either. iPhone is a ripoff of LG Prada. They just stole LG design and patented it (shame on corruptive us legal system). That's a real steal. not just copycatting. Apple also copycated conception of Windows 98 UI in Mac OS X (at the same time they accuse Samsung of doing same). So they did copied tones of other things from many other companies and developers.

                                    Apple management acting like underage kids - doing anything they want, but when someone doing same against same they playing like an only victim.
