    Lol they're indeed the most shameless, but what make someone an idiot for buy something they like? Regular people do care about who stole what, and why should they.

    'The official blog of Samsung Electronics has revealed the design inspiration for its latest Galaxy S5 phone, which says involved extensive research into "iPhone and iOS," a technology currently showing as a preference for young, savvy customers.'

     

    There, fixed that typo for Scamsung.

    I can't wait until the day Apple rumor sites stop being obsessed about Samsung.

    Plastic provides "a sophisticated and youthful urban style with emotion"... Said no one ever.
    I don't know - I'm glad they told us it was 'with emotion'. How else would we guess?

    This kind of design speak is painful and awkward. Design grads on their first assignment? I like the way they moved the camera to the bottom right. Must have taken them much research into the 20 - 30 year old market and intense innovation. It's unbelievable!

    I love how Samsung has become the new Micro$haft. They were inspired by diamonds? LOL! This article really show out out-of-touch and embarrassing this company is:

    "After extensive research, they found out that the luster of the color that appeared softly was appealing to consumers in their twenties and thirties."

    Now, I'm sure Apple does similar research, but they don't base their whole product design around market research. They innovate. They didn't do a survey to come up with the iOS 7 flat feel and look. And gee, what's this? All other products look like iOS 7 now? Shocker.

    How much you want to bet Samsung is hemorrhaging money in its phone devision.

    Sammy can't do one phone a year like Apple and survive.

    I gave my girlfriend my iPhone 4 when the 5 dropped. I'm telling you that I had the original iPhone 4 released in 2010, STILL, until the 5 came out. What the hell does that say.

    I hope so...I get so sick and tired of hearing about what Samsung is doing. Who really gives a shit! Why do you care to know what Samsung is doing all the time? This is AppleInsider, not Samsung Insider. If you stop giving them press, maybe people will forget about them. What they're doing is obviously working from a press standpoint. Stop paying attention to them. 

     

    Whats even worse, is the fact that AI is constantly late in getting REAL Apple stories on their site. There are many many times when MacRumors, or 9-5 Mac has articles out that either AI is late to report, or simply never reports. I guess they're too busy worrying about the next move at Samsung so they can report on it. This is the same thing aided in killing Apple the first time. 

     

     

    Its like there's this war going on where Samsung has to lose and Apple has to win. This is the same shit that went on back in the 90's where Microsoft had to lose and Apple had to win and this all started pretty much the same way with MS stealing Apple's designs and technologies for its OS (Windows 95) and getting away with it. 

     

    Why don't we just focus on Apple and ONLY report on Apple, and its 3rd party supporters (App developers, hardware developers). Samsung should only be mentioned if there's an actual reason to, like a court ruling or something like that. 

     

    If you don't agree with my post, please give me a NO BS answer as to how this is relevant on an Apple News/Rumor site?

    Obsession is the wrong word. It's more flabbergasted at the gall of it all.

    This has been so poorly constructed and, for a supposed exposé on their design process, nothing revealed is insightful or justifies their internal design process. It's just marketing copy and an attempt to craft their own falsified narrative.

    The article didn't even have to explicitly draw links between Samsung's "original" designs and their iOS 7 progenitors because they are so blatant they are instantly recognisable.

    Sure. One, Samsung is Apple's most serious domestic and competitor in the two products that account for nearly three-quarters of Apple's revenue (and even more of its profits). Two, this site attracts Apple consumers as well as investors, or someone like me who's both.

    I agree that AI is late to the party with some Apple product stories. However, those other sites are readily available to peruse without much difficulty, so I don't understand what the issue is. AI does not have to be a one-stop shop for all things Apple.

    What a load of marketing BS from Samsung.... Who the hell talks about the inspiration behind the home screen wallpaper! I see a similar wallpaper hidden within iOS's wallpaper selection in settings.
    That was my first thought, too! Pretty lame. :)

    "That is because the designers were actually inspired by diamonds. The 'brilliant' or diamond cut design is a design in which diamonds are cut in a distinct form with many facets, having exceptional brilliance. That's why you can see diamond cuts on the main lock screen, which adds a sense of sophistication to the Galaxy S5 to make it fashionable and unique."



     

    "Thus, with an easy-to-see icons and interface, you can clearly say that the Galaxy S5 is a trendy smartphone," Samsung notes.


     

    Seriously?

    Look-y here...

     

     

    The top part of this next image is a Samsung tablet with a Samsung case attached:

     

     

     

    The one question remains is when are Sammy going to introduce the "Spark" miniature, reversible charging cable?




    A lot of your examples seem pretty clear but in the case of the smart cover there seems to be a misunderstanding. That cover was made by Anymode and didn't have Samsung's 'official certification'.

    And we can't forget that Apple got the smart cover idea from Incase (which launched a very similar solution before Apple launched the smart cover). The way of attaching the cover to the tablet is different but the essential idea of the cover is the same and thus certainly wasn't Apple's creation/idea (although like I said Apple's implementation is slightly different). The InCase cover was launched in November 2010 while Apple's smart cover was launched in March of 2011. Images of the Incase cover follow below.
