Oh god, here we go again with the "apple had the idea first/they'll do it right" crap. And that wasn't necessarily a rant. I'm just calling you and a lot of the Apple brigade on yalls BS. Like I've said before, all the things that you say about Samsung can be applied to your beloved Apple. Apple copied and they also followed trends as well. Oh but I forgot, when Apple does it...its OK. They're not copying...they're just "borrowing ideas" Lol smh.
When its anybody else, all of sudden its the worst thing ever and the apple fans start crying. And seriously the "Samdung" thing is stupid and isn't clever at all. Lol jeez dude. And yes I will continue using my S6 Edge, over my 6+...considering the S6 is the better phone in pretty much every category known to humankind Lol

Well apparently you didnt, considering you took the time to actually respond to me lol
Engineers are designers too!
"design company"? Do you mean "designer label"?
Samsung is more of a design company than Apple, if we're really talking the whole gamut of design. But you probably mean more in regards of fashion design or consumer product+UI design, right? Both companies have their strengths and design is intrinsic to those strengths, but you can't be a conglomerate and a designer label. Just ask Acme Co!
Still, Samsung has marketed the importance of design in their countless brands for 20+ years. This isn't new; just a different style on the smartphone side. They've won hundreds of prestigious design awards - but Samsung is just a totally different beast from Apple. They build and operate beautiful hotels, built a leading edge cancer center and some of the world's tallest buildings and largest ships, they designed and built earthquake-proof bridges, they develop drugs, batteries for electric cars, memory chips, efficient kitchen appliances, and countless technologies for consumer devices. Oh, and they run a big theme park. And waterpark. Oh, and a horseback riding ranch for disabled people. And probably a bunch of other stuff I wouldn't think of.
And before the trolls troll, no, I don't work for Samsung. This is an Apple household through and through.

Clearly somebody is buying the Edge and I think its clear as day that its selling pretty damn well.
People that are avid followers of Samsung or Android always seem to forget the fact that Apple lead the way in changing the mobile industry.

Actually, the iMac didn't take any inspiration from Braun's speaker. There is not the slightest similarity between them. All there is is a photo cleverly taken from the side showing a silhouette of speaker and iMac looking similar - the view from the side is obviously not what any owner of those speaker or user of an iMac is interested in.
In reality, these Braun speakers are close to man high and even wider, and the giant speaker is held in a steel frame, connected on both sides. Totally different from the iMac, which has a foot in the middle going up, and the iMac hanging from the extension of the curved foot. Someone owning the speakers (which were a life time investment, so if you bought them you likely still own them) and the iMac wouldn't actually see any similarity between them.
I checked out the S6 edge today...the curved screen looks pretty cool, but the overall feel is super cheap and tacky. No way does the iPhone 6 feel dated in comparison. The S6 edge feels like a mid range phone in compared to the iPhone 6
I heard that the S6 Edge actually feels better in your hand upside-down.
The curve fits your hand better that way.
I haven't held one myself... but I can imagine it does.
Maybe curves are best reserved for the backs of phones.
Yes but and pardon the pun - what gives Samsung the 'edge' is of course Android!
Now if only Apple could come up with a mobile OS that was as much fun to use and liberating then they might be on to a winner.

Whilst both offerings feel mediocre when compared to the Xperia range from Sony.
But are you using them constantly. Either they are for winding off wrist or the odd function change or setting the time. Not used moment to moment.
But i am surprised they didn't use touch sensitive case on the right side of the watch would provide the same function without a physical dial. Just slide up and down
They could have moved the button to the left side to be pressed by the thumb.

Samsung is counting on those easily confused by such things.
Oh, but they'll realize the error of their ways soon enough.

Too funny. I had the same experience, but was afraid to admit I touched one. iPhone 7 Apple? You can copy too you know.
OMG that was horrible to watch..
Must have won a price for the highest amounts of "umm", "ehh", Uhhhmm" in a single promo video ever..
All companies copy at some point or another. Tech is an industry where inevitably there has to be some copying because there is only so many ways to design something or whatever. A phone or a tablet are basically the same shape and roughly the same sizes. How the hell is one company supposed to not copy others as far as this stuff goes? Make it triangular? A circle?
You know what I'm getting at here.
BTW, the new Samsung phone does look damned cool..... I must say.

Copying is awesome

You will go very far just go just by blatantly copying others. Tell that to your teacher next time you are caught copying!

Well, I'm only going by their marketing here. They are trying to portray themselves as a design FOCUSED company.
The only thing this company is truly focused on is removing money from gullible wallets, with little regard for how their products are actually used.
Design is ultimately about how a product is used, and that's something that Samsung mobile seems to have a very difficult time with grasping. This commercial and most of their marketing proves that quite frankly.
Not sure about the horseback riding farms and amusement parks though. Maybe that's what they excel in.
ROFL! This would seriously make me ashamed to buy a Samsung product. It is almost like watching a SNL skit, except I am 99% sure that the video was meant to be a real commercial.
As does Samsung's IT and Mobile Communications group's poor financial performance demonstrate for the last two quarters.
I suspect their horseback riding farms business unit is on solid ground.
