we all know you're irrational hate for Apple galt. so the last part of your statement, and the anti-iphone ads are just not relevant.
And it's popular to say correlation =/= causation, but I don't think that applies here. Yes Samsung made a lot of different phones, but they didn't make anything resembling the iPhone until after the iPhone. And you can keep going on and saying that it's basic *herp derp that was on Windows*, but that's fallacious thinking.
1.Touchscreen is a concept. Having menu icons is a concept. Having a black phone is a concept. Samsung didn't copy a concept, like the cell phone. They copied Apple's version of the cell phone, along with their menu icons.
2. Saying that Apple didn't create anything original isn't relevant here.
3. Saying that Windows had rounded corners on stuff isn't relevant at all. Neither are analogies to tires or whatever nonsense you want to claim.
