Chinese Clone Company Will Sue Apple Over iPhone 5 Design

Jesus Diaz

The clone manufacturer who released aniPhone 5 knock-off last week now says that they will sue Apple if they release the real iPhone 5 in China. Surreal? Hilarious? Pathetic? All of the above.

Hong Kong-based GooPhone, who designedtheir cheapo Android phone after the alleged Apple iPhone 5 parts leaked during the last few months, has a very rational argument: they have released their clone first, so everything that comes after that must be a copy, even if they actually made their phone after the parts of a phone that hasn't been released yet but that everyone believes is the real thing.

In other words: since their clone was released first, that makes it the original phone. The iPhone 5 is the actual clone, not theirs.

Makes sense? Of course it doesn't. Who cares! It's fun!

I just hope Samsung is taking notes and hurries up to release an iPhone 5 clone as soon as possible. Come on, Samsung'you got one week! You can totally do this. [Goophone viaGizChina via Cult of Mac]

Apple is a good company that makes good solid products. I've always thought they deliver superior performance and reliability compared to other products. However, in the past few years with the 'i-pod' and 'i-phone' trend they seem to have lost their way. Now I think they are delivering overpriced and overrated products to clueless people willing to shell out the amount for the brand name and cool factor. Their updates have been superficial and not worth the exorbitant costs. Rather than stick to their core value of delivering a good innovative product, the company just sought to make big profits.

Android was just the thing the market needed. A good powerful and low cost alternative platform. Rather than get an overpriced i-phone customers could get a phone with very similar functionality and capability for a lower reasonable price. Samsung took the Android platform to the next level. They really worked on what the consumer wanted, ironed out some of the sluggishness and glitches and created a really good Android phone. For the first time the i-phone is no longer number one phone in the market. The lawsuit has also worked against Apple as many consumers realize Apple just wants a monopoly and throttle competition.

The end result is good for the customer. Apple will be forced to innovate significantly and give powerful performance rather than just ride on price. Samsung will work hard to maintain its new found edge. All cell phone manufacturers are vying to build good phones that are aesthetically and functionally pleasing to customers at a good price point. Finally, no more monopolies.


Yes, I think as both Apple and Samsung have upped their game ultimately the customer would benefit as both of them continue to pioneer new technology and create products that are irresistible.

Well said... I love competition...I feel bad for Nokia though...They should have gone with Android instead of WP.

Till now, they ( Apple) do not care much about market share as their profit margin is very high. But they are feeling pressure day by day to compete with numerous range of Android phones. Thats why the release of Iphone5 will much significant for them. Personally, I like both platform and I want more competition.

Problem with technology products is that they have to keep ahead all the time. Once a company does not have the technological edge, then the price war starts.
So Apple cannot sit pretty and have to keep moving. Ive seen friends opt for Samsung as they want larger screens and they cost much less.

Apple's one model a year strategy will not work for long period of time. I still like Apple but I also jumped ship due to Iphone's tiny screen. I would probably go back to Apple if they release 4.3" screen.

Yes I expect Apple to lose its market share and after a while such phones will become an everyday item; especially when we keep having a choice of multiple brands.
