Samsung's Next Galaxy phone is starting to look an awful lot like the iPhone 6

February 5, 2015 ohm

Time will tell if these leaked skeletons mean anything, but if they mean what Business Insider purports them to mean, John Gruber was right: 

“Leaked photos certainly aren’t reliable, but this makes sense. Samsung rose to prominence with their iPhone-lookalike early Galaxy S models. Apple sued them and was awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties. But then, as Samsung’s designs have diverged from Apple’s, Samsung has faltered in the market. So back to what worked before: copying Apple shamelessly and accepting the eventual legal losses and the public perception that Samsung is a blatant copycat as a cost of doing business.”

Overnight, Seoul blossomed with what I thought were iPhone 3s, but were Galaxy phones. The same thing happened with iPad lookalikes. But then again, that is what happens when dealing with corporate entities that have never specialised in anything. And Samsung, which started out as a grocer, has never, ever, had a specialty - excepting government pardons.
