If Apple copies Huawei, according to some posters, it's because there's no other way to arrange 3 cameras. (LOL)
If anyone else copies the square bump, it's because they're "lazy."
Got a tip for us?

I never stated iOS has never copied from Android, so stop making things up you think I might have said.
And apparently you DO care, based on all your posts regarding copying and even telling people they should avoid making such posts.
People said the iPhone copied the LG Prada simply because the Prada came out earlier. Except that it was proven in the Samsung/Apple court case that final designs for the iPhone were done LONG BEFORE the Prada was ever announced.
Companies like to take advantage of the fact that Apple doesn't release details about products until they are ready for release. So if the 2019 iPhone has a square camera bump you can be assured that it was decided on a long time ago. But people will still try and claim Apple copied Google, as if Apple only decides on the final design for the iPhone in the last 2 months before full scale production.
There's no reason for Google to "confirm" their square camera bump. It's irrelevant without specific information on what cameras/sensors are going inside that square. Google is just playing games because they know their fans will lap it up and use this "press release" to imply Apple copied Google.
Not according to sales. Not enough people care and wireless is better for most applications, particularly in mobile.
Google/Apple have the data and the decision speaks loudly. You guys hanging on to the past are flat out wrong.
You can’t really say they are copying. It takes months into designing products and testing them. It’s not like google saw a rumor and was like **** let’s change what we have and copy them. I mean a copy is like how GM made the same exact car for each of its divisions.
They didn't copy Apple. Apple has not released a product that works like this?
It is still a rumour that Apple will have a square camera housing for the rear cameras. Google made it a reality. By definition whoever released or announces a product first can claim the rest are copying.
Who cares though in the smart phone design, every company is copying the other along with software.
Whose definition is this?
The only thing that matters is who ships an actual working device to consumers. All the rest is vaporware, especially announcements.
They copied the notch, no headphone jack, and now a square camera bump. Apple should just add a notch to the bottom of the screen just to see what happens.
Yeah, she agrees:I think going horizontal would look better than the square in the corner.
Well, I think the issue is that the cameras need to be close together and thats why they choose square.I think going horizontal would look better than the square in the corner.
We shall see but for me I don't think you can have 3 cameras in one line as the furthest on the left would not be working with the furthest on the right and I believe that Apple is aiming for some camera magic that would use all 3 cameras. Just guessing here but yeah.
I remember people saying the same last year, when they copied the notch

Hahahahahahaha
What was the nature of Samsung's failed attempt? The appeal? Or the implementation? If the latter, did Samsung have a specialized radar chip for that purpose? Probably not. Sounds like Google had to get special approval from the FCC for the necessary hardware.
This is without a doubt the craziest tech news I’ve read for a very long time!
I would love to know the story behind this. Is it really possible that a company as big and well known as google would so blatantly copy a technical drawing or a rumor - really!? Did they sit in a meeting and discuss the possible next iPhone and decide to copy it - really!?
This is beyond what Samsung used to do. It’s what the Chinese brands are doing.

Google likes to copy Apple recently, especially rumors.
They copied when they heard rumors about Screen Time and Dark Mode coming to iOS. And now a square bump! Right after following the notch, gesture navigations, and animations. Etc.
I laugh every time when Google eats their own words too when they make fun of Apple, then they do it themselves. They did it with the camera bump, headphone jack, and dual cameras. There’s probably more too.
Google is a joke. ;D
I think that would mean the front facing camera and ear piece would need to be relocated or ... ::gasp:: the phone would need to be thicker. I guess the bump could just be largerI think going horizontal would look better than the square in the corner.
The headphone jack is gone and isn't coming back. Let it go.

Eh, I dunno. Looks kinda cyclops-y to me.
