Seriously, this is the nuttiness I'm always telling people hurt other Apple fans. This extreme view that, other companies copy while Apple keenly waits to do things right. This same nutty group truly believes Apple invented the smartwatch, and Samsung copied a nonexistent device. Yes, they are that nutty. Despite the FACTS. For whatever reason, they don't see other companies have had a smartwatch out for a few year now. This is why Apple fans get some of the worst reputations for fanboys. It's truly that sad.

Yes. I'm insinuating that given Samsung's past in offering a gold phone that they had a multitude of colors in the pipeline. And I've never "met" samsung. How do you meet a company?
To be fair, every camp has their share of nuts. And the camps that you don't belong to will seem like the nuttiest. From the Samsung camp who is so fixated by apple that all their moves, their products, commercials all smell like apple, to the google/android camp who have an inferiority complex and goes on their forums bashing the other camps' because they have that extra megapixel, or that extra half inch of screen size, to the Windows camp with their self entitlement who think that they have seniority since they've dominated the desktop for so many years.
Nuts are everywhere.And the ones who aren't on your side are going to seem nuttier.
The fact that there are sides at all are nutty as everyone has a different use case and should use the product that suits them best. This personal "investment" in what others use or prefer is silly. Bashing the competition is silly and 9/10 (a figure I'm making up) both sides showcase their ignorance of what they are bashing more than they show their intelligence.
What's that saying - "Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt"
When was the last samsung gold phone released? 6 years ago?
Its no coincidence a gold S4 is available weeks after the 5S is announced.
----------
samsung markets its phones for two user bases:
a] people who want something different looking every 2 years and thus cant be bothered with product loyalty (the ones who'd buy a pink/gold phone)
b] people who care way too much about tech specs i.e. super nerds
(the ones who would care about a samsung galaxy mega uber sized phone)
-------------------------
Is it any coincidence Samsung announced that their next phone would have a 64bit processor as well after the Apple release event?
You know if you read this entire thread you'd already know that some/all of these have been addressed.
And no - those aren't the only two type of people Samsung caters to. Not by a longshot.
You keep up your conspiracy theories though. I am they keep you very entertained.
P.S. Since when is there a statute of limitation on when another manufacturer released something and whether or not it is considered copying. Seems arbitrary. You want to say 6 years? I'll say 6 days. So see - Samsung didn't copy.
Samsung has made gold colored phones long before apple introduced one so not sure what the excitement is all about.
It's not that gold color belongs to apple but Samsung was too pathetic to release another color long time after they released the S4 to the market that match the same one as apple.
soon HTC will release their Gold HTC One.
I'm just wondering if Samsung and HTC would go gold this year if Apple wouldn't release a gold iPhone. I dont think so..

And here I wonder if Apple released their Gold iPhone knowing that Samsung was planning on releasing a Gold S4
See how that works?
Reminds me of the way that popular automobile colors change.
Remember the pastels of the 50s, the neon colors at the end of the 60s, then the earth tones started showing up in the late 70s through the 80s. After the turn of the century, silvers and blacks were everyone's favorite.
What goes around, comes around.

There also seems to be a lot less lawsuits in the automotive industry despite all the "copying" being done
I don't see a single smart phone there.
But perhaps you mean to say no one really has a hold on the origin of colors. Because if so, you ought to address the OP.

Samsung is more nimble, faster and more willing to compete. They may not make the high margins at the moment, but just look how they've grown. It's no wonder they were Steve Jobs worst nightmare.
They also believe in choices and have no fear. Willing to make a variety of sizes and types this is just the beginning. With Android 4.x.x being well sorted out they're a very serious threat.
Some see this as "throwing everything on the wall to see what sticks," but I see it the way you do. Fearlessly testing, experimenting, and trying new (and sometimes exciting) things. What's amazing is that even though not every one of their things are a hit, having the resources to be able to spread themselves so wide for experimentation is good for the consumers, cause when things do hit, we benefit from it (look at the Note series. How many people here -- myself included -- scoffed at the ridiculousness of a 5+ inch phone with the outdated stylus?).
It's really amazing people don't recognize Samsung is GREAT for the industry.
It's not like Apple, in all their care and slow consideration, hits a home run with every single product they bring out either. When it comes down to it, they're just doing less.
How you know ?
Keep believing it.. might be real one day
I dont care about the competition between apple and samsung. I just said it's pathetic and low.
LG doing the same thing to Samsung and they are crying about it..
When was the last Samsung phone released in gold? Why shockingly to your Apple sheeps, it was released this August, the Samsung Galaxy Golden http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-57599551-251/behold-the-samsung-galaxy-golden-android-flip-phone/.
So the iPhone copied the Galaxy Golden right?
