What's the name of the 6s coprocessor called? I believe it's called the M9..
Absolutely Isaac Newton - a genuine innovator (and others) believed they were "standing on the shoulders of giants".Who really is 100% original these days with no influences from competitors? No one.
Looking at the '13 HTC One, he does have a point. I'm not saying Apple copied them, but they did have the antenna lines on the back way before the iPhone 6. They even had Beats before Apple too, haha.
Right, because M stands for motion and 9 is the number of Apple's processor this year. What exactly does M9 or A9 stand for in HTC's world?What's the name of the 6s coprocessor called? I believe it's called the M9..
I think one could argue HTC's A9 looks more like an iPhone 6 than the 6 looks like HTC's M7. I'm not sure why HTC moved away from the M7 design as I think that was a lot nicer than what followed.That's hilarious. The only thing Apple did that was similar is the antenna bands, but Apple already had an aluminum phone with glass antenna bands.
This 2012 iPhone design is different as both top and bottom are not aluminium which allowed better signal. So 2013 HTC is still first to have top, middle and bottom all aluminium separated by those small lines...
I am praying for that day!
Then the iPhone 7 comes out and everyone is surprised by the originality.Looks like we are running out of phone designs.
It was the HTC One M7, the M8, then M9. I don't know what it stands for, but HTC has had the name publicized for a while.Right, because M stands for motion and 9 is the number of Apple's processor this year. What exactly does M9 or A9 stand for in HTC's world?
Like it or not the iPhone 6 released in 2014 looks a lot like the HTC M7 released in 2013. If you look at the design M7 through to A9 there is an iterative progression. So I wouldn't really say HTC copied the iPhone 6s.
That said do people really still buy phones based on design? I really thought the mobile war is fought on apps and features?
God forbid a company use similar colours to AppleThe nearly identical colors (inspired by nature, my ass),
Does there need to be an A8? Its the 9th generation hero phone. Talk about clutching at straws!the name (A9? Where was the A8?),
Fancy having a round lens at the top of the phone. Would have preferred a triangular lens at the bottom.the lens design and placement at the top,
I think it's fair to say that the 2013 HTC One was one of many points of insipration for Apple's iPhone 6 design, but that design was its own animal and did not immediately bring to mind a competing product the way this one does.
Put differently, it's perfectly reasonable for designers to learn from each other and to incorporate good ideas from others into their products. Indeed, we all want that or innovation would be uneven at best. There is a certain line, however, beyond which one product is plainly derivative of another. Reasonable people will disagree about precisely where that line should be drawn, but I would think most would agree that HTC stepped way over it in this case.
You're forgetting the iPhone 5 which had antenna lines and was released in 2012.
This is such a blatant copy of the iPhone 6 design that anyone trying to claim it isn't is either stupid or blind, pick one.
