Apple is so original and you cannot compete apple in your whole life. By doing this kind of activities you will not become market leader.

Would people stop bashing each other for what they like? It would make the world a better place. Both Samsung and Apple has their pros and cons like anything else. It all comes down to preference. Companies always copy each other especially in technology and as long as it is not patented, it is ok. Samsung is a great company cause they don't only make consumer electronics, but they are also in the appliance industry and a few others. Apple is great in its own right cause they always improve and innovate something new that has already been out. Apple wasn't the first ones to be in the smartphone and tablet business, but they find a way to improve on and change the whole idea to make people want to buy. That is why people love Apple products.

We didn't say what copying does and we didn't say it was wrong, we just point it out that samskunk is not doing anything but this and that's all they do, only tv's are leading them, they are always a year to late to make whatever apple came with first, but when the hell did apple ever copy?

In terms of iOS, Apple has copied some features from Android and Webos (Palm) and even a little from Microsoft. Features like the drop down notifications from Android, multitasking from Webos, and the flat design from Microsoft. Luckily for Apple, those features weren't ever patented.

gamerscul9870 - March 10, 2014 at 8:13pm

Every phone has the drop down feature even if they were released at the same time, unless it looks the same then it's considered copied, their multitask works different in two ways other than two things taking up screens, the the look, how the Fck is that even close to microsofts look? Theirs is just sharp edged one colored giant looking tiles with white icons in the middle, apple icons are slightly bigger with curved edges, neon colored and about the same as the old ones without icons being on squares. Icons are the squares.

What a joke

gamerscul9870 - March 9, 2014 at 6:40pm

And fans are under their mind controlling logic, all they care is screen size and treat the rest of the company like they're better. Joke to the max.

SoundJam MP, developed by Bill Kincaid and released by Casady & Greene in 1999,[5] was renamed iTunes when Apple purchased it in 2000. Jeff Robbin, Kincaid, and Dave Heller moved to Apple as part of the acquisition, where they continue to work today as the software's original developers. They simplified SoundJam's user interface, added the ability to burn CDs, and removed its recording feature and skin (computing) support.[6] On January 9, 2001, iTunes 1.0 was released at Macworld San Francisco

They are just using Slacker Radio. And it's not just iTunes Radio that they are competing with, pretty much against Google Play Music’s All Access streaming service—as well as Pandora, Spotify, and Rdio, which employ similar models.

Samsung s5 is way a better cell phone than iphone 5s in all aspects. Iphone is all a lie as simple as you.
