How dare Samsung choose a color that Apple used...

Wait, what? We're getting mad over a color choice now? Did Apple invent the color? No? Okay then.

Nobody is saying that Samsung is doing anything illegal here. What people are saying that it is utterly pathetic.
 
What a pathetic company. Apple does Gold, they do Gold. Apple does Pink, they do Pink. Apple does Jet Black, they do Jet Black.
What also happens: Apple does Gold. Idiots crying "Gold is so ugly, it's for pimps, it's so tasteless". Samsung does Gold: "Samsung has done Gold years before Apple". Apple does Jet Black. Idiots crying: "Jet Black will scratch and look horrible". Samsung does Jet Black: "Samsung has done Jet Black years before Apple".

It must be nice to pigeonhole people so you can continue your love of a multi billion dollar company.
 
Unlike Apple. When Samsung bring out a new colour. It's classed as an option. Not a feature. Owners won't swap their S6 for a S7 because it's had a paint job. I will wait for the S8 in March next year for the new redesign.
 
Samsung the fast copier follows again.

Although I suspect it's deliberate, you're kind of missing the point.
 
I'm not even kidding - as an Android user, MacRumors and the MacRumors forums have become my prime source of Android news.
 
For those of you who missed it, this "new" black color was released many months ago. It's NOT new, and it's NOT a copy of anything Apple. They lost an entire model and its entire revenue stream so they're just trying to keep something interesting and exciting about their existing model for the holidays, by releasing a color they already had, sans the special limited edition character markings. This also looks like the color they had for their special edition Olympics phone.

The snark has been amusing but in the interest of factual reporting, here is the model announced in June of this year: http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/events/injustice/

PS, They also just released a coral blue version that is selling well according to the article that Mac Rumors referenced. So are they still copying Apple by releasing blue? And their pink color looks nothing like rose gold, either, really.

I can't see the point - I much prefer their Black Onyx anyway. The piano black iPhone just looks 'cheap and tacky', don't lower yourself Samsung.
 
Alternatively, Samsung is a foil to show how good Apple actually are. Consistent success in such a competitive market is not easy.
