I think we can safely say that the original Galaxy phone was quite similar to the iPhone in many ways. Which was one of the reasons it wasn't as successful as later versions, who wants more of the same? Since then Apple has been pretty much samsunged in the mobile phone market, with Samsung taking the lead in looks, design, specs, and functionality. They sell more than twice as many high-end phones as Apple, even though major models cost the same (Galaxy III) or are even more expensive than the iPhone (Note II).

So if it happened, it is over and done with it, no phone from any major brand even remotely reminds us of the iPhone now --- let us face it, unless we are talking about a local Chinese brand, why would anyone want to copy the iPhone5?
