Apple sues Samsung over S6 and S6 edge!

[beebskadoo]

Oh come on Samsung, Apple is totally justified in this. The S6 is a CARBON COPY OF THE IPHONE 6. Literally the entire design looks like an iPhone, with the button, the outfacing camera, the whole body itself, all EXACTLY THE SAME. The bottom charging spots from that picture in the OP, they are literally identical. There's no way that Samsung will win, this is just plain ridiculous by Samsung.

Maybe this will force Samsung to be original in their design, I mean they are just copycats.

HOLY SHIT THOSE THINGS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY!

WTF IS WRONG WITH APPLE?!

[Shaaaddoooww]

Am i the only one here that thinks they both look like phones? That's it. Are they similiar? Yeah, but, it's a phone...so. Aux on the bottom left because most people are right handed, charge port in the center which is where it always has been.

 

I don't get it. I also hate apple because of why they're considered a 'premium' brand and all the not so smart things they do.

[Guest Kloaked]

People aren't competing the same way in music. Though lawsuits happen for blatant copies, it's not the same. Samsung copies because they aren't relevant otherwise.

That's the reason I see bands copy other bands though, so they can be relevant. There's this band with someone I know in it that has 7 members, but I can name probably 6 mainstream touring bands that they more than likely ripped their sound from.

It's the same thing more or less. If every phone manufacturer went the Samsung route and just ripped designs from Apple, there'd be little to no originality with phone design. Same with music.

Honestly, I think Samsung has copied Sony's phones a lot over the years too. The waterproofing, glass back, etc.

They are both phones but the average consumer knows Samsung copied. I heard people saying that at the release.

Sony phones are amazing.

Always wondered that myself, HTC has every right to I suppose!

:rolleyes:  I don't get it. Does this kind of stuff happen with tv designs?

[TwistedDictator]

Its funny how many people didnt even check the source. I see people just read a few qoutes and title.

[Victorious Secret]

Just makes me laugh because Samsung still supply about 40% of the chips Apple use for the 6 and 6+

 

Samsung the actual mothership doesn't care what its divisions do. Samsung proper actually treats each division as a separate company. They actively encourage that the manufacturing arm do whatever they want, much to the annoyance of the mobile division. 

 

Honestly, if I could show you the internal stuff you'd laugh. So much internal fighting and bitching because there are no favourites. Thats why Samsungs chip making division can sell to everyone and thats why Apple can still sue Samsung. Since they aren't suing the company they actually do business with.

Whatever makes money, they don't care about changing things unless they need to. Samsungs phone division is a mess!

This is what I mean. So the iPhone looks like the HTC One and the S6 looks like the iPhone. So everybody copies everyone else. Then, everybody sues everyone else and the whole industry never moves forward.

 

That's the reason I see bands copy other bands though, so they can be relevant. There's this band with someone I know in it that has 7 members, but I can name probably 6 mainstream touring bands that they more than likely ripped their sound from.

You have a point, but music and consumer electronics are not the same. Music is an art. The whole idea is to express yourself, contrary to consumer electronics. In this industry, the whole idea is to get money from you. I am also a musician and I do not play to make money but because it is what I like to do not because I want to get rich off of it.

How about Samsung stop trying to imitate Apple. How many times can they say, "there are only so many ways to design a phone"?

[Thorium19]

Perfectly justifiable if you ask me. The carphone Warehouse by me had the S6 and S6 edge on a display with the iPhone 6(+) just opposite, and I saw a few people look at the samsung and walk towards them, then realise they weren't the iPhone and walk away.

[Rohith_Kumar_Sp]

Samsung just doesn't give a shit. Copy copy copy. Apple might be idiots for making those designs in the first place, since the 6/6+ aren't THAT GREAT in the design department, but Samsung are bigger idiots for outright copying the design. 

Oh well, imitation and flattery. Can't beat em, join em. Samsung is effectively saying they can't sell a phone if it doesn't look like an iPhone. 

have we run out of combinations ? i mean it's a rectangular piece of hardware, what else can be done to not be a copycat of someone else's phone ?  i belive no matter what's been done they all look similar to something that has been made in the past

Rhombus shaped phones. That is the future. 

 

Or perhaps a very sharp triangle. Like a pizza.

And you can never forget Picassos's famous quote:

"Good artists copy, great artists steal." And Steve Jobs saying " We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas"

that would solve the bendgade as triangle is the most strongest structure in the world and perhaps pyramid form

A pyramidal phone would be dope. 4 different sides? Even a screen on the bottom? 

 

This is truly revolutionary territory.
