those colors look familiar....where have I seen them before? on the tip of my tongue...
 
Not to be outgunned Apple introduces the iPhone7-5L

We had gold 'phones' for years, Apple just copied them, as for white and black please don't even go there as you'll look ridiculous attempting to claim any other black or white phone is copying Apple as they've been around even longer.

As for Rose Gold:

Yeah Apple were never first with that colour either.

Are you really trying to discussing or only trying to deform the facts?

All colors exist before human beings are on the earth. It is easy that one of your color options of your product being similar to one of another company's. However, if all the color options you offer for your product are all almost the same as the color options a competitor offers, it's blatant copying. Now, if each one of this product include several different colors, at a specific pattern (e.g. one for the front, another for the back and side), and your product's color combination and pattern options are still all almost the same as your competitor's, it's shameless cloning!

The worst of the worst, with these facts so clear, and you still try to deny your intent of copying and cloning, that's a people with no morality.
 
ha, i couldnt stand it anymore.. registered, so hi everyone))

i just wanna say.. APPLE **** YOU! The only thing that is left from the Iphone is the iOS..

love the apple products, got iMac, MacbookPro, iphone, ipad blablabla..

but man.. lately.. no innovations at all.. and the last couple of events.. its just like "Our people worked incredibly hard blablabla..", "The fastest apple product ever" (D'ohhh!! imagine if you created something slower than the previous version, although after the SE release, I wont be surprised if they do something stupid) only thing that matters is $$$$$$

frustrations are enormous from my side.. yes its still quality, but no innovations at all except for the innovative sick prices! my god.. buy a ticket to the USA, get a macbook pro and an iphone = free trip to USA!!! compared if buying those 2 items in europe!

still selling 16GB version of iphone = a freaking joke and pushing people to get the 64gb for 100 euro extra.

- The new macbook with a poor quality camera, but with a big phat price!
- ipad pro, "that could replace your laptop, according Tim", HELL NO! show me how!!! not running El Capitain.. apps aren't there yet.. keyboard 180 euro, pencil 100 euro etc.. so how the hell is this a pro?! big fail, apple big fail..
- SE should be an internal note like a few others said here, or a silent upgrade of iphone 5s

according the rumors iphone7 will not be redesigned, just a faster phone with a dual camera, and only 1 port.. oh wait, 1mm thinner! wowww!!.. where the hell is the innovation or redesign? ehm.. helloo??? battery life?! no? nothing?

im just soo pissed off, apple is ripping us off.. and we still buying their products.. once again.. only thing has left = their operating system that's freaking it!

go cry somewhere else. my Apple products employ tremendous innovation and offer me tremendous value. I willingly and enthusiastically give them my money. millions of other folks do too.

You care. You responding.

My point is Apple started the trend of Gold smartphones.
Now everyone else is copying them.

I have ZERO problem with Android copying Apple's gold phones. But make no mistake most people connect the start of gold smartphones with the 5s. Copying Apple's colors exactly just makes Android tacky and clownish. Like those fake Louis Vutton bags from China.
Completely off topic:

Is it fair to say you've never said no to an Analogy? She just comes up to you, no matter how bad she looks, and says, "Warrior2000! Will you put me in your sentences, pretty please?"

You: "Hell's yeah, little lady."

Analogy: "Dubya2K? That's my new 'numb dem plums', or pin name for you sugar. Uhhh, can my girlfriend get in the sentences too? She ain't much to look at but she does ramp up a party"

You: "The more the merrier darlin'"

Analogy: "Thanks honey! *blows kiss* Dubya2K meet Hyperbole. Hyperbole this here's Mr. Warrior2000."

You: "Enchante'. *rubs goatee*


Seriously though. Take it down a notch. We're just talking about phones. It ain't that crucial.:D
 
Comparing them to Apple's no they are not the same shades, and as has already been stated Apple were not first with any of the colours they use.

How about the combination of these colors? And the color pattern on each phone (one color for the front and another for the back and side)? Why do they have to use the exact same list of combinations?

Yes, so I get annoyed when people like you attempt to claim one maker copies Apple because of the colours they use, no, Apple just ripped of colours others have used before, have existed in nature, it is not a revolutionary invention! Yet some on here act like it is. You would have to argue that others have copied Nokia or sony as they made black and white and gold phones long ago, and NOT Apple, it's the way factual history gets utterly twisted in Apple land, how nothing existed before Apple, everyone copied Apple, not that they copied the same people and got influence from the same places Apple did.
No doubt it will be the same with the dual cameras, if Samsung launch one I bet hundreds on here will cry foul and slam them for copying Apple, every single one of those people will totally ignore the FACT Huawei did it BEFORE Apple and Samsung could simply be copying them.
 
I think you've got some of the specs wrong here. Over at Connect (one of the best smartphone photography sites) they specify the aperture as f2.2 not f1.1, no OIS and that the monochrome sensor collects 200% more light than an RGB not 300% as quoted here.
 
It's sad that Apple being the "originator" of the smartphone back in 2007 still lags behind Samsung and Huawai.
They are copied in stupid things like colors for the phones but are always late in terms of brighter, better OLED screens, crappier cameras with bumps and also late to the phablet game with 4" screens for years.
Apple has the best phone because of iOS and the simplicity of things that make it better.
Although I must admit that they are playing it too safe and not keeping up with the competition in terms of revolutionary features.
I wouldn't buy this Huawai phone but millions of chinese and Android users will. Smartphones have almost replaced point and shoot cameras. I like the camera in my iPhone 6s Plus but it is useless at night and while zooming the quality gets too degraded. It only looks good in bright daylight or with good lighting. If Apple comes up with a BS iPhone 7 with just one camera in September, people are going to be pissed off. I would. According to Flicker, iPhone photos are number one but things might change soon.
I applaud huawai and samsung in improving on the original Smartphone, the iPhone, and creating competition.
Unfortunately, sometimes Apple doesn't seem to be paying attention. (Remember no copy and paste for one whole year in 2007?)

Apple didn't create the original smartphone. Far from it. Phones with internet, email, apps existed long before the iPhone. Apple just took existing, successful technology, improved on it, added a decent OS and hey presto - the most successful smartphone to date. They've always been late to the party, always, and always will be. That's how they work, and how they get it right. It's what's made them successful and why everyone copies.
 
WOW, looks like they pretty much stole Apple's colour pallet.
Believe me, that is relatively innocent for them. These guys are known to have produced counterfeit Cisco routers for many years, running software physically stolen from Cisco. Of course, the Chinese government defended them with their media portraying American companies poorly and their legal system encouraging IP theft. I would not assume the existence of any kind of ethics, morals, or original thought in this company; they ought to be on everyone's **** list, along with the Chinese government and MacKeeper.

That's quite the strawman you have going on there....

Wow, I never realised Apple was the first ever to make different coloured mobile phones!

It's ridiculous how some people on here seem to think nothing existed in the mobile world tech space before Apple arrived... Yeah, Apple invented those colours, they have patented them and will no doubt be taking Huawei to court next week. :rolleyes:
 
  • Hardware competition arguably caught up with Apple
  • that means the biggest differentiating factor in the near future will be iOS
  • Which means Apple will have to redouble their efforts to make their platform that much more attractive.
This should make all loyal Apple users happy...competition is good.

Ok so if the only thing that is differentiating I the iOS. I may have to try one! My 6pmus just F-in sucks after the recent updates. It stutters and freezes multiple times a day. Just had apple run a diagnostic and the I was told it had to be a software issue? No your kidding me right. Yes it is and I do
Think it's also something to do with 6plus phones as well. I'm on my second 6plus because of early issues and my iPad Pro, iPad Mini, iPad 2, iPhone 5 and 5s all seem to run fine on the newest iOS just not the 6plus. Apple fix this crap and quick. I pay good money and a nice premium for quality and as of lately it's going down hill. If it's just iOS that will differentiate the phones maybe worth a try to check out something else?
