The only thing Apple have perfected is bullshitting at an industrial scale and the only people that fall for it are ones that have more money than sense.
Considering the FACT that iPhones are made up of Samsung components and zero Apple components, that means they're really using a Samsung phone to announce a superior Samsung phone.
That's all well and good, but the majority of people aren't running small businesses, what you've written is irrelevant and doesn't benefit the average person, so why should we care ?
You could be right, it may not be a copy at all, looking at it's components, i wouldn't at all be surprised if it was more a Samsung manufactured device than an Apple manufactured device.
