Silly really, because including it wouldn't really have reduced the impact of the graphic. Graham |

I have a Samsung flip phone and people are always asking me if it's an Apple flip phone

If we narrow it down to the Galaxy S range, they've been adjudged to have copied the rounded rectangular look and the silver trim, but not the shape of the speaker grille or the buttons, and they copied some of the icons, the bounce back effect and the way you interact to zoom with the device. The big Samsung letters on the front, the different number of buttons, the different size and aspect ratio, and the different operating system don't seem to count. Yes, Samsung deliberately moved this range a little too close to Apple's look for Google's comfort, but $1 billion in lost profit for Apple? Hmm. Graham |

I was agreeing with the Apple employee when he said, "Customers can get confused on whose product is whose." |

To be honest, I know quite a few people who bought products that were 'like' iPhones or 'like' MacBooks. Copying the design was an important part of demonstrating similarity. |

http://content.usatoday.com/communit...1#.UD-uOiL7h3o So other companies want to make sleek looking phones, but Apple thinks they own the rights to how a phone should look? I read the other day HTC is now in the sights of Apple's ridiculous patent gun. This is what Apple would like every other competitor's phone to look like: |

Claiming it's worth 1 billion though is devastating to the overall market. |

Can shop owner copy someone elses design of a stunning one of a kind evening gown, put his own label on the inside and say 'it's my own design! the label is different!' ?
Or a watch? I would call it unfair, even if it's legal. Same thing with phone exteriors past a generic point. |

Samsung products are not necessarily cheaper than Apple's. In fact, the Galaxy SIII is actually priced higher than the iPhone 4S. Anyone willing to spend an equal or greater amount of money on either product obviously did their homework before hand and based their purchasing decision on reviews and research. |

If somebody confuses a Samsung with the iphone, then they're either an apple "genius" or have less than 2 firing neuron cells. Last edited by afv011; 08-30-2012 at 03:13 PM. |
