Are you upset that Apple Copied the iconic M7/M8 look for the iPhone 6?

cnotes2019 · May 30, 2014

This really isn't about Apple vs Android. It's about Samsung vs Apple vs HTC vs LG vs the rest...

Side note: I will never stop using my Note 3 and Iphone 5s!!

The only reason you think it is irrelevant is because it contradicts with you

The market share us dropping because the make 2 phones, perioud.

If you want to compare, stop comparing a phone to a whole operating system where every monkey and it's cousin puts some old crapy android on a kiosk $5 job.

Want to compare iPhone 5, fine, compare it to phones releaced at the same time.

The problem is everybody is unfairly comparing everything bundled together against 1 device. Including scrappy devices made by Joe blow to sell via girl scouts, or devices given away to people who open a free checking account.

You don't hear people saying a Ferrari sucks compared to a Toyota Corrola or Honda civic sales wise. No you want to compare a Ferrari to a Lamborghini and Porsche. Not a Corrola, Prius, and Ford ranger

That shell was not made by Apple, it was made by some random guy based off rumors from random people on the internet

History of Apple's announcements compared to rumors should show just how close it will be, after all everybody said the iPhone 5 was going to be phablet size with expandable storage and a host of other features

I cant believe this hasn't been discussed.. (if so it was dismissed too quick) Apple's next flagship is a flattened HTC One.

Why would anyone be upset? Like what you like and be happy with what you have.

What on earth are you on about?? That's untrue and you didn't point out any contradiction at all. If you like Apple, great. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings. I just made a factual statement, with a source. Somehow, you made the leap to thinking that had something to do with phone bashing. I don't play those games.

I for one don't care if apple copies htc, because if they do, it just legitimises htc's design work as the best in the world!

You linked an article that said Apple increased their sales but was lower then CRITICS PREDICTIONS

And comparing market share of 2 phone models to every android Device including the cheap prepaids at Wal-Mart checkout counter that run android 2.2. it's an unfair comparison

If you want a fair comparison then compare the sales of Apple's phones to Nokia or HTC, or the iPhone 5 to the current or last nexus , but no, don't want to do a fair comparison

And yes you were phone bashing

And for the record I have never owned or want to own an iPhone, I own and always liked the HTC One Series

Doubt they will copy the design, as of now nobody outside of Apple knows what it looks like, that design the person was showing a random person made so they can get page hits and YouTube views.

The design looks like the One because it was the recent major phone release when the person printed / drew it

All I see is a larger looking iPhone... looks nothing like the M7 or M8 imo.

It is not a fact. That article is confusing. iPhone's share of the U.S. market is 41% and rising. It has been rising for the past 18 months.

while I agree with the iphone being compared to all Android devices being an unfair comparison, this IS an android based forum, where you can expect some bias.......

Can we just hush up with all this ballyhoo? It's pointless and it's making everybody look like idiots arguing over what some silly sales and market share numbers mean

If you guys want to argue, see out the editors at CNET and other publications who have published the facts. The numbers don't lie.

I don't it was ever on rails. That is a mock dummy iPhone. No one knows what the next iPhone would look like as yet.

Not to much worried about the size but the features. Probably will be a larger screen if they are going that route. Better cam and battery and display. Other then that it will be the same iPhone. Still have to sync with iTunes and still won't have the customization aspect. Won't have a sd slot or removable battery. The iPhone is meant to just be a simple device. For what ever reason people love them to death.

I agree. This whole Apple vs android battle is stupid to me. Both platforms offer great features for different users.
