Considering the iPhone 6 took it's design cues from Android phones, it's hard to claim the HTC is a "copy." It's just where the phone industry is now. I get sick of all of this everyone still's from Apple garbage on this site and in these forums.
Got a tip for us?

You said iPhone 6 is a copy of ATIV S.
Your trolling co'z you know it looks different..
Wow.. HTC has lost all credibility with the Android Community. This phone will be one that everyone will look at for 2 weeks then wish they had another phone.
It’s funny actually, the One A9 landing page has the quote “Design worth imitating” on it. It’s like HTC admitting to Apple that they were onto something the last few years.
Well, not my concern. Nexus or bust is my mantra.

You do need your eyes checked if you think this and the 5 look anything alike.
You couldn't be more wrong. More sites are going Material design with the hamburger menu. This was first developed by Google. And no one... I MEAN NO ONE.... will ever use apple's advertising except apple. You will never hear google or their hardware manufacturers say "Our device is Magical!" "When you touch the screen, you really feel it!" Sorry, you're pissed off for something that doesn't exist, except in your head.
You'll be able to go back and forth on who imitated who, but only until you get here:
Still the perfect size.
Incoming speculation:
Maybe HTC isn't serious about this phone. It could be using it to get people talking about HTC. If Apple sues, the legal fees may just be factored as HTC's cost of advertising. If Apple sues it just legitimizes the phone and gives undeserved attention.
Just a clever marketing plan.

i never liked the back of the iPhone 6 anyway...too flat and a bit boring
As mentioned before, Apple iPhone 5 had these UGLY antennae bands a full 6 months before the HTC One M7. Throw in the other designs that were also copied like the unibody aluminum shell, chamfered edges and exact color matches and you can can see why people think HTC has a LONG history of copying Apple design ideas.
The bands are attractive, though, on the iPhone 5, because they are better proportioned in relation to the rest of the body. On the 6, they look plasticky and out of place.
If you look at their previous phone, it's really just a flattened evolution of their previous design.
I love your comment because it is the only one with true validity. You see this is something I really respect HTC for, they never came out and said.. Apple bought off one of our people here at HTC design labs and how Apple paid BIG bucks to get the design and then raced last year to be the first ones to release it. HTC did not complain at all... kind of just let it go. Hmmm
Now HTC releases their own design and the sheeple "of course" say Oh look Oh look copy cat this and that. Of course how are the sheeple to know anyway? It does not matter because everybody copies everybody... because humans are just hairless monkey's anyway. The reason HTC is king for me is because they don't b*tch and complain like little b**ches! Does Apple? Well you be the judge of that one, once they start the whole court feud real soon.
After all this though i still have an iPhone and only Apple products but it does make me wonder that the company I love is just a big bunch of babies along with their fan base.
PS: I have never owned an HTC and probably never will. But respect is due. Nice phone btw LOL

Not a fan of iPhone 6 back at all,and this one looks even uglier than 6.
I will be replacing my iPhone 6 with a gold Note 5,until next year to see iPhone 7.

Looks just as bad,maybe slightly uglier..it's weird that they decided to copy iphone 6's worst aspec : back design.
Because the iPhone 5 had the unibody construction and antennae bands 6 months BEFORE the HTC One M7 came out that's why. Not to mention the other blatant ripoffs of chamfered edges and color schemes.
Exactly.
They didn't copy the iPhone design elements.
They have been doing the same thing for years.
