Interesting use of the word "never".
I used never because I personally have never seen an advertisement where Apple has mentioned Samsung's name negatively in an actual commercial or ad.
Please by all means show me one. I was trying to look for one, and couldn't.
U kidding right? Enlarging screen size is NOT the same thing is copying colour elements, phone design, icons, packaging, plugs, ear buds and even advertisement! If you can't see this, you will never!
Aren't there other android companies who make cool phones? Sure! Most of them at least have the courage and integrity of presenting good design (apart from Lenovo and some Chinese brands). I hope those Chinese copycats finish beating shamedung in their own pathetic game.
"Honest materials that have a certain temperature to them that comes from being real metal and real glass". Haha this is parody gold, except it's not parody.
It's funny that lately they are copying the things people laugh at Apple for. Those Ives videos are always mocked because of how rediculous they are. They also copy the non replaceable battery, non waterproof, and no expanded storage as well. Almost like they think Apple sells more because of reputation and not features
That little modifier makes all the difference!

They copy everybody & everything, not just Apple.
Look at their other products.
Example - I recently had to replace my washing machine. We had a Miele that died early. The replacement machine we went with is almost identical to the Miele. The Samsung cost was cheaper than the repair of the Miele. And this Miele that died didn't live up to the last one we owned.
I've also looked at some of the other products by Samsung. They look and feel like some other companies products.
Could some one inform me of an original product by Samsung?

Yeah exactly That's their business model these days. Copy something flat out and save on R&D, allocate a huge marketing budget and put it in front of a bunch of people's faces who won't know, and will actually think they are innovative, and then enjoy a massive profit while it takes years to move through the courts. It is blatant hucksterism.
Not one of those items (excluding possibly the Hi-Fi) are in the same product class; inspiration is not the same as copying (no dog in the fight, just saying its a poor example).
The S6 Edge still looks better than the iPhone, IMO. And funny enough, I'm not the only person who says that. And Rene Ritchie's articles are biased AF anyway. Samsung could come out with a phone that literally prints money out of thin air and Rene would still come up with some random lame reason why Samsung sucks and the iPhone is the best. Can't take that guy serious until he takes off the blatant fanboy iHat.
The Braun watch is... a watch. It can tell the time and maybe the date.
The Apple Watch is a multi-fuction computer on your wrist. It's no more a "watch" than an iPhone is a "phone".
The S6 Edge is a better piece of hardware than the iPhone 6, most everyone that has handled both say that.
LOL those responses are pretty much spot on, especially the "Apple made it better" one lol
Wow. Copycat on the videos.
It won't be long until Samsung copies the whole software interface too.
That Apple trial graphic pretended that Samsung stopped making flip and other phones afterwards, and that they didn't have any all-touch phones available or in development. Samsung responded by pointing this out:
Apple lawyers were so keen to claim Apple's designs as being unique, that they even included the pre-iPhone Samsung F700 design as evidence of "copying" before realizing their embarrassing mistake:
Also interesting was the "IReen" touch UI that Samsung had been developing the year before the iPhone. Apple lawyers bent over backwards to have their images banned from the California trial, because they would prove that Apple's ideas were not unique. The jurors never got to see it:
For that matter, it's known that in mid 2005 Apple was still working on an iPod based iPhone. If you want to present biased before-and-after comparisons, let's look at the Korean-designed Pidion touch smartphone that came out shortly before Apple internally decided to change to all-touch:
Unwired magazine even eerily correctly predicted that Apple might later use a similar design.
Naturally, Apple's lawyers also got the Pidion prior art evidence banned from the California jury. OTOH, in Europe where prior art such as the Pidion evidence was allowed, Apple lost their iPhone design infringement claims against Samsung. It was clear that Apple's design was NOT unique.
As for copying software, don't even get people started on the features that Apple has copied from Android. Or for that matter, originally from people like Jeff Han and his multi-touch demo. Everyone takes the best ideas from each other, and we all benefit. The difference is that Apple often tries to claim them as theirs alone.
Nonsense. In this case, Picasso was clearly referencing that famous painting, and in fact created many versions of it - in his own distinct style.
As a person who owns both phones, the S6 Edge is just and all around better device...from the screen to camera to the overall design. Hell one of my best buds was TeamApple and I'm talking hardcore. Dude now has an S6 and loves it. I hope this forces Apple to come out swinging with the next gen iPhone. Competition is great for us customers.
Who's Bud? There is nothing innovative about the Edge.
Manufacturers have been playing around with curved screens in various product formats for years. The reason nobody else is making phones in this form-factor is because it makes the UI look very thick and dated.
If anything it feels like a forced attempt to stand out without any real substance.
You might not want to discuss profit, but Samsung's most recent numbers aren't giving their flagship designs (or their aggressive and angry supporters) much credibility.
Obvious? No. And yet the world is full of great designs that can serve as inspiration to product designers. However companies like Samsung, for whom design is an afterthought, lack the courage and skill required to explore and experiment with such ideas. It's much easier and safer to copy a successful product than to come up with one on your own from scratch.
