Much is being said about HTC One A9 since its presentation. They are talking about the similarity that this device has with the iPhone 6 / s. There has been so much talk that the president of HTC in North Asia has had to come to the fore to say that what they have done is not a copy and that if someone has copied, it is Apple. jack tong it is based on that Apple copied their design for the antennas, obviating that these lines have to be present so that the coverage is not lost, as happened with the antennagate. Nothing more? Are there no more similarities between the iPhone 6 and the HTC One A9?
As you can see in the image that heads this article, indeed, HTC put some lines at the top and bottom in a design with an all-aluminum rear. There the copy of Apple to HTC would end. But Tong doesn't mention that the M8 uses a two-tone flash different, something we first saw on the iPhone 5s in 2013 and called true Tone. Now let's take a look at the rest of the device design.
This was the HTC One before the iPhone 6:
And this is the HTC One A9 (next to the iPhone 6, which is on top) from 2015:
As you can see, the previous models on which Tong is based to say that HTC does not copy, had a design if we look at them from the top or bottom in D shape, where the front was completely flat and the rear was curved. The HTC One A9 is flat on both sides with the sweet, rounded edges, which makes them have a 0-shape no matter where we look at them from. This is the iPhone 6 since 2014.
You can also see how the bottom of the devices was, going from having only the USB connector to also having the holes for the speaker and the microphone in almost the same position as the iPhone 6. But the best thing is if we look at them from the front, sir. Tong. What do you have to say to the following image ?:
What happened to the front speakers? What happened to the side margins? How did you come up with putting a home button if it was really based on the M7? A) Yes?:

If neither the iPhone 4s nor the iPhone 5 had obviously existed, the design of that previous HTC would not be like that either. They were simply ahead of the predictable.
The two-tone flash of the HTC M7 is, indeed, from 2013, from the beginning of that year, while the 5s had it at the end of 2013. In other words, Apple's not only copied the antenna band. Now don't complain.
Hi, Rafa. If you are looking for photos of the M7, it only has a round flash. It's the M8 (2014) that has a two-color flash.
A greeting.
Because they don't talk about the cameras like the front one. First phone with front camera and with capacity for htc video chat secondly iphone (copy) in the same way samsung, lg, motorola ect. They all copy him and owe the success they have to htc. The only company that really introduces something new is htc and it ends up being motivation for others
Certain. The first front camera phone was an HTC. In 2003 http://www.nerdeky.com/history/sony-ericsson-z1010-–-world’s-first-phone-front-facing-camera
Oh no. It's Sony Ericsson…
A greeting.
Zas all over the mouth XDDD
The first phone with a front camera was HTC because Sony had it but without the possibility of seeing what you captured because you had to have the phone covered hehehe all are copied but HTC is more original than all.
The Sony had it under the screen. Find it yourself.
«The Sony Ericsson Z1010 with a front-facing camera exposed a totally new technology. This revolutionary phone's front-facing camera had 0.3 megapixels sensor for selfie and video call. »
Selfie and VIDEO CALL.
A greeting.
Dear I like iPhones, however Apple was the one who copied HTC.
The HTC one M7 was launched in February 2013 inclusive with the antenna design and the iPhone 6 was released in September 2014. The resemblance that the iPhone 6 had with the HTC one M7 was a lot and here HTC had the upper hand.
As fans we put ourselves on the defensive but it must be recognized that the other manufacturers also make their effort.
In short, it is a never ending battle but you always have to see the good and the bad of each one, even if they are similar.
Hello Manuel. You rely only on the rear. And the lead? And the curves on the sides? And the speakers?
I think you have not noticed well, not even in the last image. The blue arrows are from the HTC that you defend that Apple copied the HTC that the entire internet says is a copy (if not, what saint does the president deny it?). The red arrows are from one to the other.
But, hey, saying that the iPhone 6 looks like the M7 only because of the antennas and not seeing the flattening of the back, the home button, the mic, the speakers, the side margins, the true tone flash inherited from the M8 and that we saw for the first time in the 5s, which have left the D shape to make a 0 ...
Hello
Yes I mean the rear and antennas, I really do like to argue a lot about who copies who.
To which I go that "Of course the HTC looks like the Iphone 6s we can say that it is a copy" but sometimes one copies the other and vice versa.
Of course, as Apple is a benchmark in the market, therefore, competition copies more from them than Apple from others.
Pablo if you read the post it says parq video call and I said with video chat capacity that they are 2 similar but different things. 😉
Is no different. How is it different? Video call and video talk are the translations.
HTC wasn't the only one using Windows phone. These were PDAs and they didn't have an internet connection or cameras. We cannot compare it to the phones that came later. They were originally Pocket PCs. I've had one of those. They cannot be compared to a telephone.
I recommend that you read about PDA. Look what it says on John Scully. https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDA
Everyone has copied htc both in software and in appearance and everyone who follows the world of mobile phones from windows mobile to this day knows it.
I don't know why they fight who copied whom, those stripes look horrible. And leave all that space in the front puff, horrible, and put those speakers at the bottom that get covered when you play nothing to do
The lines that have been in the back of the M7 are debatable ... But going from the front double speaker to a monophonic one just where Apple wanted it for the Iphone 6 and the flat and unfamiliar forms of the HTC is already a vile copy ... That's why already The new equipment does not attract my attention because the Galaxy S6 looks like the Iphone 6, now HTC adds to the impudence of copying ... Only LG, Sony and Motorola remain, who are known without drama of who copies who
Ok Pablo first since 2005 or maybe a little bit back the phones already had internet connection. Second, if at some point you had a pocker pc with non-wp professional mobile windos or a smartphone with standard windos mobile, such as the motor that they had a 3g connection and an adapter for a wifi card. Second, the video call allowed what was one flat at the same time, the video chat allows you to be connected with more than one person to the fez if even in 2015 you do not know it.
Ah okay. So the video chat (group video call ...) is software, something that HTC does not create. The software for video chat is created by Microsoft, Apple, Google, Nokia and the developers, but not by HTC. Without those who create the software, that HTC you mention would not be different from the Sony Ericsson of 2003 in that sense.
Many of those who are commenting here only know from android and iphone onwards. Some will know about how for example the snayo mm7500 a phone that for 2005 consisted of voice command and anyone believed that it was introduced by apple hahhaha. In 2005 sprint had what he called sprint power vision and internet connection, did you know that Pablo ???? I don't think so. In the end of mobile phones, I can talk to you, I know many more and I still have a few with me (htc hd2, samsung jack, htc touch)
You will have many telephones, but none have been useful for you to learn to write. Drop by the school and stop so many phones.
I had a nokia 9000 in 1998 with internet and Fax ... most of here did not know what internet was !!!!
I used voice commands to call on the Nokia 3310 (year 2000). And the power vision had an internet connection? Have you not seen the movie "the saint" (Nokia Communicator 9000, 1996) for example? In 2004 I had the Nokia 3650 and I was already connecting to the internet, and that mobile was not the first Nokia that could connect to the internet ...
Be careful, I'm not saying that we owe all of this to Apple. I'm just saying that we don't owe it to HTC and that HTC has relied on the iPhone 6 to design its A9.
I had the nokia 9000 in '98, that was a cucumber at the time, Fax, internet, email, etc ... I already had internet and mobile when nobody here had internet at home hahaha
Haber, it is indisputable that Apple "borrowed" the antennas of the HTC, but do not come to me that HTC did not copy the iPhone because you can see clearly * the front speakers disappear, change the arrangement of the micro usb etc etc * At last and last out, everyone at one point will * copy * others, for example, the S6, the iPhone and the HTC have a similar aesthetic, although there are colors for tastes. I hope that with the iPhone 7 Apple does something revolutionary * I liked the full screen design without home button in another day's article * Greetings!
If I read a news page in English, and I want to make a comment, I will do so in English. This page is Spanish, so if you make a comment, do it in Spanish, not in Latin. Here we do not say speakers, we say speakers, and not everyone has to know or deduce your words other than Spanish, such as car = car, block = street.
And focusing on the issue at hand. Until the iPhone 6 I had always had top-of-the-range android smartphones, and I was a staunch defender of the android world, but you cannot defend the indefensible, and that is that HTC has made a 1: 1 copy of the Iphone, only changing the logo. It is one thing for companies to be inspired by the competition, take ideas that work like 3D touch, and another is to make a crude copy without personality, in a last and desperate attempt to sell mobile phones even at the cost of the criticism they knew beforehand that they would receive.
Javier don't talk without knowing I was driving and commenting.
Therefore, Pablo, you already know that what the PDA, smartphone and pocket pc were, they had internet connection and cameras and in fact many of them that were not sold in the United States had front, rear and other cameras that rotated 360 degrees.
Still wrong ... Still driving?
I do not have to write professionally first and second, you are the only ignorant person who goes out to damage the conversation. Here is talking about telephones and their similarities if you want to talk about otography become a teacher and class.
Why is it that a ridiculous person always appears in the forums?
There always appears a peasant like you who, in addition to not being right in anything he says, argues writing like the ortho ... Ale look for a dictionary on his multiple phones!
It is not about writing professionally, if not in Spanish, and in an understandable way. What were you driving? Well, first, here driving is used for example to express mastery of something, like handling a language correctly, something that you don't know how to do and certainly even less if you do it while driving. You will still have an accident and you will "get hurt" I put it on your tongue so that you understand, ignorant.
I do not care who is copying who, I'm worth mothers. I do not change my iphone for any HTC.
It seems that Juan and Javier (Rome and Juliet) have a romance hahahaha.
Hey lovebirds don't get poisoned hahaha = DD.
I have read stupid comments but the one who wrote Juan has put a new level, now it turns out that you can only comment in Spanish, it is not our fault that it has such a scarce and reduced vocabulary, I recommend you have a dictionary next to it to see if you can understand or flatly do not read the comments so as not to feel so outraged
I think smartphones are going through the same process as cars. Before, companies were jealous. But now everyone shares everyone.
Range Rover Evoque uses a Ford eco boost engine, and this in turn used lines from the Evoque in the Ford Explore.
Did someone get mad? No, nobody.
Let's see what day the civility of the automotive world catches up with us.
