"If you look at the abstractive pattern, you cannot help to think that it resembles something... Diamond," Samsung reminded its audience. "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."
You're right to an extent. However - it may sound lame to say - but I really think there's a difference between "inspired by" and "ripped off from".
For example, when Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone 4, he compared it to a Leica camera. This is one of those comparisons that is really valid and earnest, I think, because he isn't saying "we copied the Leica camera" - he's saying that there are some similar design and aesthetic principles that the two products share, because they both share similar philosophical approaches.
I think that's very different than simply taking a design and blatantly duplicating it but changing the logo. Samsung and many others are absolutely guilty of this. There is a broad sense in which Apple's industrial design has (fairly) influenced an entire industry...and that inspiration is OK. But the outright copying we often see is a different beast, I'd say.

I don't think you enjoy the Credibility Reserve to make this charge convincingly.
This look like a iPhone?
Yep, especially that camera icon in the bottom right corner.
Seems Samsung uses marketing-driven design, rather than user-driven design.
No no no... it's Apple-driven design.
Look, look, my 5s has the beautiful brilliance of a diamond
No no no... it's Apple-driven design.
Driven off a cliff.

Too right.
