Samsung may of copied back then, but the iPhone 4s and Galaxy S3 couldn't be more different (galaxy s3 actual size is much bigger than iPhone 4s)

That's the S3, the one that's copied is the S1.

The S3 is an awesome phone and not like the iphone... probably partially because of this.

How much copying that should be allowed is debateable. People weren't allowed to use the scroll wheel on the original Ipod. Sony got in trouble because they infringed on the rumble feature.

However, I don't see how you can argue that the original galaxy wasn't trying to be like an iphone. Which puts holes in the argument. (why would company's want to copy a design if there's nothing new or great about it?)

I wasn't saying that samsung didn't copy iPhone, what I was saying was that they haven't done it since the first galaxy s, it probably was a starting point for samsung until they got there own design, to make it what it is now. Copying is wrong but i don't think apple should be baning some of samsung's products because of it (probably so ipad's sell even more!!)
