The fact is Samsung is obviously mirroring the industrial design success of Apple to cause market confusion. To root for a company like this to succeed is disgusting.

Perhaps Samsung is following modern design techniques, many of which pre-date Apple, despite being popularized in the computing world by Apple.

They have completely different feature-sets (expansion/connections/cameras/tech stacks). And no copying was possible because they were announced 30 days apart. Samsung tablets vs iPad: Same buttons. Same bevel. Same material. Mirrored UI. A clear an blatant copy to confuse consumers.
