Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Isn't it? (and isn't that something Jobs was quoted as saying?) As long as Apple finds a way to "innovate" and please consumers (and leave us prosumers in the dark with smaller laptops & buggier versions of OS X), Google, Nokia, Lenovo, etc. will always be flattered and copy everything Apple makes to create some sales.
Not Front Page news
I'm sure there will be some that disagree with me. But I feel like there needs to be a Back Page for news like this, what Google and Microsoft are up to that has nothing to do with anything Apple etc.
Either that or give us some dang control over what we see on the Front Page so we can ignore this kind of stuff for ourselves

Apple will be fine... but I'm just annoyed at not having a legitimate competitor. I'm surprised they can't come up with a different compelling design to give consumers choice?
Seriously, if Nokia tries to do a copy of an Apple device, it's just a worse version. But if they find a way to do something unique, then they could possibly find a different market they're better serving than Apple.
Uninspired and annoying.

With all due respect to Charles Colton...
Imitation is the most insincere form of flattery imaginable.
As Jonny said: this is an insult to the engineers who give up time with their families to create something beautiful and new... just to see a second group of engineers knock something out in a small fraction of the time, by using Apple's team's work as a direct template.
The Scumbag Steve meme comes to mind.

Well itS flattery plain and simple.
Not sure why everyone gets their panties in a bunch.
Screens are rectangular.

Also, Nokia is just licensing their name. They aren't making this at all. They didn't even design it.
This is from the Nokia that Microsoft didn't buy, the one that makes cell network equipment.
To be fair, it seemsmissed the boat on unifying their iDevice design
Yea, the iPad mini and iPad really need to adopt the iPhone 6 design.
Because it looks exactly like an iPad mini, and is being made by Foxconn. It's relevant to an Apple enthusiast. If you're not interested, scroll on past.
