HTC has decided allegations, according to which the One A9 is a copy of the iPhone. 6 Rather, Apple would have first copied the design of the unibody metal casing of HTC. Can be drawn from the affair with this argument, the company?
With the introduction of HTC One A9 has reaped not only praise. Many critics accuse the company to simply copy the new smartphone, the design of the iPhone. 6 And there is certainly some truth: Who the HTC One A9 look at, can distinguish the device at first glance hardly from the current Apple flagship. The allegations, simply provide a copy of the iPhone 6, HTC does not want to be lying down anyway.
Did Apple copied first?
According to Jack Tong, president of HTC North Asia, it was Rather Apple that would have copied several design elements with the Taiwanese in the past. Opposite the Want China Times, he argued:
"We do not copy, we have already presented the first smartphone with unibody metal casing 2013 in antenna design stripes Apple copied rather us..."
The allegations that Apple has copied the antenna strip at HTC are not necessarily out of thin air. In fact, it was the Taiwanese who had in 2013 introduced the HTC One for the first time a unibody metal enclosure with antenna strip. Only one and a half years later these appeared then in the iPhone. 6 The fact that Apple has doing a little guided by HTC, is at least probable.
There is an agreement between Apple and HTC
The fact that companies operate in the tech industry and with the competition, is by no means unusual. Above all, the similarities between devices from Apple and HTC should it really surprise anyone. Already 2012, the companies have a mutual licensing agreement for patents signed that allows both sides to use the patents of the other group.
Whether the HTC with this argument, however, can wriggle out of, is questionable. After reminding the HTC One A9 not just in some detail about the iPhone 6, but actually acts like a copy of the complete design.
