HTC has recently been under fire for its new One A9, which has the resemblance of an iPhone. But the Taiwanese company insists that the design is an original idea, and that Apple actually copied HTC’s first unibody phone that was released in 2013. “We’re not copying,” said Jack Tong, president of HTC North Asia, at the One A9’s Taiwan launch briefing. “We made a uni-body metal clad phone in 2013. It’s Apple that copies us in terms of the antenna design on the back.” Regardless of what some people think of the phones design, the One A9 won’t be even be competing against the iPhone, though. Unlike other devices in the One series, this model has swapped high-end specifications to be more affordable. The price the device is at $399, $249 less than an iPhone 6s. (off contract) What do you think of the HTC One A9 ?Who copied who ?

HTC Says That They Didn’t Copy Apple, Apple Copied Them

Bendgate Resurfaces With The Samsung Galaxy S6
SquareTrade has recently released a video showing the durability of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and HTC One M9, discovering the Galaxy to bend at 110 lbs of pressure and the One M9 to bend at 120 lbs of pressure. Although the Galaxy S6 Edge's pressure limits are comparable to the iPhone 6 Plus' testing, the Galaxy's screen ended up cracking under the pressure instead of slightly bending similar to the iPhone 6 plus. The HTC One M9 lasted further than its 2 competitors, reaching 120 lbs of pressure. Testing to the point of unusable, the iPhone 6 Plus survived 179 lbs of pressure, beating out the Galaxy S6 Edge's 149 lbs stress test. As SquareTrade points out, the Galaxy's stress tests proves the phone could be worse for users due to the smartphone's screen cracking under intense pressure. So it looks like “Bendgate” has spared to the Galaxy S6 Edge as well. As we know in September 2014 iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users experience “Bendgate” where users would have there phones in there pants pocket and the phone would easily bend. You can watch the video below. What do you think of the whole “Bendgate” issue ?
