It appears that HTC is taking a page from Samsung's playbook. The company's upcoming Aero smartphone has leaked and it looks a lot like the iPhone 6.
Evan Blass (@evleaks) posted images of the upcoming device to Twitter in Cast Iron, Rose Gold, Carbon Gray, Deep Garnet, Opal Silver, and Acid Gold.
Just like the iPhone 6, the Aero features a rounded body with antenna breaks across the top and bottom of the device. Save for a centered camera and the HTC logo, you might mistake it for an Apple device.
Blass also leaked the following specs for the smartphone: HTC One A9 (Hima Aero): SD617, 5" FHD AMOLED, 2GB/16GB, 13MP/4UP OIS BSI, 2150mAh, microSD, fingerprint, metal, ~7mm, 6 colors. November.

Apple ripped off HTC from the onset but ultimately, who cares? It's a phone. They're all going to have similar shape and look. Nobody says a word about someone's Sony TV looking like their Samsung TV does. Because it's an iPhone and people have a need to emulate themselves through the icon on the back of their phones this is a discussion. Turn the phone around, open the lock screen and introduce something relevant into your lives. IMHO
Gosh I could never imagine "making money" as a copycat... All these brands are just surviving thanks to Apple. God that must feel so awful, poor CEO's in the phone industry.
Disagree.
I thought the HTC M8/9's were plenty original and stylish on their own.
If these really are the Aero pics, it shows that HTC dropped the ball in the design stakes (whereas before they were keeping up in terms of originality). They didn't need to imitate.
Anyway, face it. I'm not a fan at all, but the Edge looks much better than the recent iPhones. Apple need to change the game with the i7 because they're getting left. Boring design and less features.
I say this totally objectively. I left the smartphone wars years ago. They're pointless at this level of technology ... well, for what i use them for. I'm on a Moto G 3rd Gen and it kicks ass for £150. Diss it all you like but i love it. Cheap, waterproof, fast, battery last forever. Great phone.
The iPhone have been stepping it up more than ever despite design with antenna lines (in which I painted over to resemble the 5s design), but the next iPhone will promise a ramped up design compared to the 6s with more options and stronger material. A month or 2 back, an article here was mentioned that apple invented a metal material to keep the antennas but it doesn't show them. It's like the iPod touch except it has much more, isn't as thin, metal and has no antenna areas to see (it's in it though). If you have n idea what I mean, I suggest finding the article somewhere.
Hey newbie. Did iPhone 6 look anything like htc? Are they as or is the back even shaped like the old HTC? Did it have a line in the middle going u and down like HTC did? Apple had their own styles antenna lines. This just goes to show how much some try to follow apples standards in hardware and software.
All of your previous reply is insults, I am not implying this example of HTC and Apple to everything. Please stop with the random insults (especially with calling me nigaa). I simply told you I proved your arguments about the antenna lines and gold color wrong, thats it, I didn't bring any other subject or argument up. I didn't fully read your silly reply because it's filled with insults and no arguments, you are simply insulting me for proving you wrong. I tried to have a semi civil argument with you but obviously I can't. I'm not going to reply anymore, just so you know I was only disucussing these 2 topics, nothing else, I didn't use this example any where else. Let's just stop arguing because I dont want to waste time, I like both Apple and HTC, and I shouldn't have commented on your comment just to prove you right, so let's call truce! I don't wanna see a reply from you that has insults or is related to our arguments, let's just end this.
HTC copied looks, $am$ung copied new features, and micro$oft copied most of the outside of the phones and most of the old features. This just goes to show how mocking is their strategy to cover up their excuse hole (kind of like plot holes for example) yet know how they need Apple to survive. No wonder apple got its name like that!
THE PHONE'S NOT EVEN ANNOUNCED YET!! And Apple isn't some sort of god that creates everything and is being stolen from, in case you can't remember, they sued Samsung for copying their design, the rectangle shaped iphone. And they're trying to patent 'slide to unlock'. They are not gods, they are not innovators, they steal, a lot. But then again other companies do, but HTC is the least company to copy. So please think before posting a comment, no company is perfect, and I'm telling you this even when I own a MacBook and iPad and used to own an iPhone.
