Would you drive a Chinese car that looked like a German car?

When you straight copy a design, it signals that you don't give a shit about what you're doing. Safety? Security? Quality? Fuck it.

Doing the same quality cheaper is better.

When it comes to signalling with phones, it's losing signalling value at accelerating pace. It's starting to be a bulk screen you carry in your pocket.
