Not giving this a thumbs up, but a serious question is, all this for 150$? Still making profit on that, so how much is Apple making?
Don’t you think that chin is quite convenient and ergonomic ,given the préhension for big phones require your fingers to be higher thus making it hard to reach the bottom?

This phone shows nothing but disrespect. They couldn't even differentiate themselves with a new wallpaper?
There’s also expensive iPhone knockoffs from Samsung, Google and HTC.
Why is it ok when Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi and every other android does it?
That would be a good question to ask if the two devices + services + warranty/support were in any way roughly comparable.
The Chinese government always favours local companies over foreign companies in any kind of lawsuit, even if there is no way to deny IP infringement. For non-Chinese companies, it is only a waste of money to try to get the CCP to do the right thing and protect their intellectual property. This in turn encourages Chinese companies to basically base their portfolio on knockoffs, since they know for sure they'll get away with it.
I feel like you, like many people, have a wrong idea of what innovation means. Innovation isn't just "ooh shiny all-new thing completely different from before". Innovation is also finding new ways of doing something already done so as to significantly improve it. Just because the design language is similar (which is good, a constantly changing design language would break cohesion in the ecosystem and make upgrades jarring) doesn't mean "Apple isn't innovating".
I mean really bad at copying Apple and all, but priced at $150, which means the actually cost is even less, so how bloody much is Apple making when selling at $1500+ for a phone. Unless it's $1000 per phone on R&D.....
You're probably one of those people that think manufacturing cost is the only cost of a phone and the rest is profit, huh?
The price of an iPhone isn't just the phone itself, it's also iOS development costs, its included free services, mass shipping costs, regulatory expenses, marketing, warranty coverage, packaging and accessories, etc.
I’m impressed that somebody thinks there’s still room in the market for yet another cheap Chinese Android-running iPhone knock off.
the lawsuit form apple to samsung was samsung made a rectangular phone.
I **** you not thats what the lawsuit was despite other manufactures having rectangular phones well before apple.
LOL
For the same reason an NBA player would have little issues with being dunked on by LeBron or Jordan or Shaq. They're worthy opponents. It would be an insult to be dunked on by some no name streetballer from the projects.
I can see Apple's reaction to these copycats.
While you and I agree, the culture is that it is OK and even encouraged behavior.
Yes, pathetic.
