I'm not really sure what's so disgusting about it. Anyone with a pair of eyes can see that Samsung have been systematically pushing the boundaries of what you get away with in cloning a design. If Apple didn't show willingness to push back they would be allowing a competitor to dictate where that boundary should be set. Since they spend a great deal on design and branding it's perfectly acceptable that they wish to protect that investment.
- Gustomaximus 15y agoReally? I see plenty of differences in the popular Samsung phone models. And there is only so much a designer can do with a slim touch phone to make it significantly different.
- MrScruff 15y agoClearly that's a judgement call on both our parts and neither of us is going to convince each other to think otherwise. As an anecdote though, I was walking down Oxford St this morning and passed by a mobile phone shop that had two large displays in the window, one for a large black touch screen phone and one for an otherwise identical white version. As my eye passed over them my brain registered 'iPhone' since that is what they looked like. It was only when I looked a little closer I saw the Samsung text under the display. This is clearly what concerns Apple execs, not merely rounded rectangles.

- r00fus 15y agoA tablet computer did not look like the iPad until the iPad came out. Funny that, eh? They looked like laptops with flippable screens or tablets with flip-out keyboards... all of them had stylii.
- nivertech 15y agoI used small tablets from HTC for years before iPad, their OS sucked, but they where more or less of the same form factor.
