How very childish of Apple, Samsung or anyone who goes on with the your copying me and im better than you crap.
People will buy what they want regardless of how one company battles another. If Apple iPhones were a lot cheaper more people would buy apple but they are not. So Apple wants to squeeze other companies out of the market so they have a monopoly on Smartphones and then they will crank the price up through the roof and even contracts will then become too expensive.
As far as people copying Apple see the link here about the original WIMP (Windows Icons Mouse and Pointers)system designed by Xerox Parc then copied and added to by Apple Computers. Since then its been a big fight between PC Designers and Makers with the help of Microsoft to produce Windows Based Computers that are better than Apple Computers (I have a Tower Macintosh Computer and you can see where the money went into the design and quality of the product). I am typing on an Lenovo ideapad Core i5 laptop which is a good quality fairly fast laptop but Apple Computers will always be a premium high quality build with the added advantage of not having to worry about Viruses. For those who can afford Apple its Quality build your paying for whether its phone or computer or tablet but if your into lower cost phones and computers that perform well then there are plenty out there. I use an LG Nexus 5 Android on Kitkat (excellent performance and quality) and this is a replacement for a Nokia Lumia 1020 great camera but that is where it stops. If they bring out a 5" Display iPhone for the price of a Nexus 5 or for less than £38 a month on a contract then I would consider an iPhone but until then I will stick with Android.

AnonD-134497, 25 May 2014I already said Samsung IS copying Apple. I am not ignorant ... moreCopying them how exactly? Sure, both phones are slim bricks and they both have screen and round edges. But apparently Apple thinks only they have some weird exclusive rights for this shape and everyone else should make pyramid and cylinder shaped phones...
It's funny how car world can co-exist with countless lookalikes of other cars, but mobile phones that are pretty much stuck with the design that all have these days and they constantly harass each other like small annoying kids in school. Who cares how Samsung or anyone else looks similar to iApple. I still wouldn't buy one. So who gives a damn srsly (other than Apple itself constantly bitching over things that seem natural for everyone else).

It's 100% true that apple is desperate,
The rate at which they loose the make share is very alarming.
The only option they have is to sue to recover that lose.
The unfortunate part of it being that it can be temporary.
With time they will completelyrics loose.

The level of guilt is very high and undeniable.

Oh rotten apple just die already!
Samsung is copycat we all know that, but in recent years apple didn't sue Samsung just for copy infringement.
Apple sue because Samsung smartphones & tablets become better than apple every year, and eating apple marketshare. That's what frighten them most.

Samsung does copy Apple but Apple is no exception. Keep in mind the color of icons in iOS 7 and above completely matches the description of Meego and Maemo OS. Apple even had lost to Nokia in patents. Apple has also infringed many Nokia's patents and hence paying them. However, Apple is suing Samsung mostly because of:
a) Market share
b) Samsung is a BIG company so more money will come.
c) Desperate attempts to grab money if it can't come out of the products sold...

1. It looked good (because it looked like an iPhone which was THE hottest design at the time)
2. AMOLED, this guy was, and is, insane about oversaturated colors and contrast.
Another reason was Apples reluctance to sell iPhones outside of carriers, a Galaxy s could be bought in any store off contract, iPhones couldnt, at the time there were no unlocked iPhones.
