In some way it's the other way round here. Those bags claimed to be authentic originals, however those phones actually claim to be different haha

Motorola's New P30 Smartphone Blatantly Copies iPhone X

Everyone has been copying iPhone ever since the day the first one was unveiled 11 years ago.
Oh, what, so Apple invented rounded rectangles?
And an edge-to-edge screen with an oblong rounded rectangle notch? And a protruding rear dual camera setup with smooth metallic edges? And the mixed neon color wallpaper? And the Helvetica Neue Ultralight-esque clock at the top?
Pfffft, Apple fanboys!

I wish Apple 2018 would copy more from Apple 2012's style/UIx guide.
So if everyone is copying the notch (and now everything else on the X) does that mean Steve actually would have approved of this design?
This popped up on my FB memories from 2012 (I was disgusted with the misused apostrophes).
UI looks terrible and dated IMO. I’d hate for them to go back to an iOS 6 or earlier look.
No lol, almost nobody seems to care about Motorola. But its definitely more known than the other copying brands.
If you want Google to track every move and provide it to advertisers, Government, and your wife's divorce lawyer please feel free to use spyware... um Android.
Remember Chinese people love knock offs, they have markets full of copying the real thing. Coach, Rolex's etc.

Just going by Apple fanboy rules that if you're not first then you're a copycat. Stop moving the goalpost.
How can Apple steal ideas if they patented the notch before the essential phone was even a thing. Your making things up again.
What phablet, does Samsung even make phones anymore?

They are selling it in China where there is no shame in copying.
Maybe because sometimes other phones resemble the iPhone but this looks like a photo copy of the X.
The bigger problem is that consumers buying this phone wants to be mistaken for owning an iPhone X, which isn't going to happen with that stupid Motorola logo on the bottom chin.
Do you Apple haters not ever get tired of being wrong ?
Hey, at least there's some contrast there that doesn't require you to squint to read thin white letters on a bright green bubble.
Well, nobody including I would want a literal carbon copy of iOS6 but how about a shift back more towards less use of light colored text on garish white backgrounds. More differentiation between what's pressable vs. not pressable (it all looks alike now). Not all the change-for-sake-of-change in 2013's iOS7 can be called better than before. But all can be called different than before, that's for sure.
What about the iOS6-era calendar vs. the borderless white/red font joke of a calendar in iOS7-11?
I'd love that keyboard back though. There's something about seeing a button pressed more obviously that makes the phone feel faster. Today when I press a small "button" where my fingertip completely covers it, I often am left uncertain if it even pressed, and the half-second wait feels like forever. Seeing the bold keyboard buttons calling you to press them, and seeing a larger button change color and be "pressed" certainly feels snappier at the least, and often way more intuitive in the most.
