So having big screen is copying now? Why doesn't Samsung make fun of Sony or Panasoinc or LG for copying 80" 4K tv? Samsung at its lowest.

Can say the same thing about rounded corners. Plus I believe Apple (w/Jobs) was against larger screens. I'm guessing they saw the continued success with the Note line (it does have a 4th generation coming out so it must be doing something right) and figured they might as well copy like the good artists that they are. Sound familiar?

The least Apple could've done to really take advantage of the extra screen real estate was to add/copy a multi window/tasking feature.

I might go into best buy now and mistakenly buy an iPhone 6 Plus while I was meaning to buy the Note 4. I wonder if that sounds familiar to the Apple fans.

It would also be nice if Apple used gestures from the bezel similar to what blackberry does.

Take a look and the Galaxy Lock Screens now. They straight up lifted that from Apple's iOS. So when you joke about someone walking in and confusing a device for an iPhone, Samsung is actually trying to cause that type of confusion.

Seriously, Samsung is known for copying other companies left and right. They aren't innovative and aren't known for quality. We have an American company at home in the USA that's known to be innovative and for bringing quality devices and you guys hating on them? They help our economy and everything else. It's ridiculous. You guys cheering Putin on too?
 
You do realize that was actually a part of Apple's lawsuit, right? What about the "notification shade"? Where did Apple find that one? Oh yeah, Android.

I'm just saying i might get confused with the size, the rounded corners and everything. I sure hope i don't buy the wrong one.

Where are iPhones manufactured again?

How do they help our economy by sending thousands of jobs overseas? Weak argument.

Please man, save it. All these corporations copied no more or less from one another, they are all guilty.
 
Samsung took a gamble with the OG note and it paid off. They're proud of it and they're gonna rub every one of the Apple biased tech writers nose in it who bashed them for the size but will now embrace it because Apple has it. It's called pointing out the hypocrisy

While I agree with you, Samsung has mastered the art. No other company really stands out as blatant copy cats quite like Samsung. Sony? LG, HTC? Nope.....

How many iPhones are made in the US? An American company who uses a Irish holding company to dodge taxes? They aren't as saintly as you thing they are. Rose color glasses my friend.

If LG held the market share that Samsung does Apple would've sued them. You go after the big boy in the competition. Hence why you think Samsung does it more than others. We have seen Apple copy Android features over the past few years.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Note didn't do so well and was considered extremely niche. I don't know what happened between the time of the Note and the Note 2 that made the Note 2 do so well, but the Note 2 was like a well designed reincarnation of the dead on arrival Note.

I think that was because it was mostly new and rather wide which was really hard to hold in one hand. Now they've made then narrower and i think word of mouth helped ppl warm up to it.

It was a niche product, that had a following (even the 10 million units it sold wasn't expected) and then it grew tremendously (tripled with the 2). Now some would argue the Note line is the flagship phone for Samsung. The Galaxy is the mainstay, but Samsung usually improves a few things even further on the Note series. It's the only phone I found myself parking my iPad and not having to touch it.

I didn't know the Note sold that much. I agree that the Note line is now the new main flagship over the S line.
 
Expect a lot of Galaxy Note 4's to get dusty this year now that people can get what is essentially a tablet version of iOS on the 6+.

Samsung is not doing as well this year as in previous years, and that trend will get worse once the iPhone 6/6+ drops, and then you have the latest and greatest from HTC, LG, and Sony to deal with.

I doubt it, the 6 plus may take some Android users but can't see why any note users would jump ship. Note line is a great growing device. What it does is second to none and does things iPhone can't really compete with.

That's up to you then isn't it. I can't see why it won't sell when it's a clearly better product. IPhone 4.7 I would expect to sell like crazy

It's long been said that people don't want a bigger phone. They want a bigger iPhone.

The iPhone 6 reveal and pre-order already broke the internet twice. I'm willing to bet the actual sell date will be a complete zoo.

When is the last time you saw that response for a Samsung device? Pretty much never, only it now has to contend with 2 iPhones instead of one.

Apple has had the single best selling smartphone basically since iPhone 1. Now Apple will probably have the best selling 1 and 2 selling smartphones. That business will not just be 5S converts.
 
Considering Samsung were criticized for large screen displays and being a copycats of Apple for years, maybe it is their time to gloat.

Apple and many of its apologists who are purchasing iPhone 6/6 Plus now were WRONG all those years. LOL at folks like David Pierce from The Verge and many who ridiculed the phablet movement. Let's see how long they plan to stick to iPhone 5s. Sony is now making the best compact phones. After awhile though, this stuff will get redundant. Most of us will move on and just accept things the way it is now.
 
I don't think there's any getting around the fact that Apple for years decried big screens and tried to claim that their smaller screens made the phone more usable. Now here they are making there screens bigger - a tacit admission that this is the new way of doing things, and they're doing it two years later (as per usual).

Can anyone blame Samsung for running an ad like this? Apple ran their "I'm a Mac" ads for years constantly hating on Windows and computers that run Windows. I think those drove home a point and this one does as well. Apple is two years behind when it comes to mobile phone innovation. The specifications are years behind those of their competitors, and now that Apple has caught up on screen sizes, its competitors are implementing thinner bezels which we probably won't see on the iPhone until 2016 (the iPhone 7).
 
Samsung's new Note 4 commercial

I suppose you can't blame Samsung for using the hype of the new iPhone to their advantage. I have to say though regardless of what company does it, Apple included, I think it's tasteless marketing that annoys consumers. It's a bit cringe worthy when a company has to put down a competitor. Tesco supermarkets do a lot of it her in the UK and it has the opposite effect for me. I simply shop somewhere else lol.

I think it's about time the mobile tech giants accept where they are in the market and stop trying to score cheap points off each other because it simply creates a fanboy mentality amongst some people and this end up reflecting in what could be sensible discussions.
