Ask HN: Do you think iPhone 6 is a design copy of Samsung S5?
Today I was shocked when I hold for the first time the iPhone 6: it looked like a Samsung (!). Would Steve Jobs approve this design?
Three clear points that I just didn't like:
1. Rounded glass in the edges of the screen
2. Back camera comes out of the device...
3. Sleep/Wake button is on the side like most Samsung's (I know it's because it's taller, but the old place is iconic).
I'm exaggerating?

I'd have rather had a thicker device, however my leather Apple case makes this a non-problem. 3. If they'd left it at the top, people would complain that they can't naturally reach it. It's really easy to get used to and makes a lot of sense being on the side due to the size of the screen.
- joaodmj 12y agoThanks jbrooksuk. And do you think it's too big? Did you prefer the size of 5S?
- jbrooksuk 12y agoBefore the 6, I had a 5 and I must admit I wasn't fond of the size difference at first. However, after using it for a couple of hours it was brilliant. Just the right size for a "bigger screen" in my opinion. A friend went for the 6+ and after using it for half an hour I hated it. But again, that's preference.
