Here's the thing: a lot of the anti-Apple sentiment isn't anti-Apple sentiment (or even anti-patent sentiment). But there are real issues over what constitutes copying. Many of the features that Apple wants to protect are trivial, obvious, or have prior art.

Those who claim that Apple products are being copied also focus upon the similarities rather than the differences. If you take that approach, it's going to look like everyone copied Apple because you are failing to accept contradicting evidence.

Take a step back and consider a few things: what constitutes copying? What is considered innovation, and what is considered as incremental progress? What should be proprietary, and what should be a part of the public domain?

Rich questions will lead you to richer answers.
