9 Ways Samsung Has Blatantly Copied Apple

Apple and Samsung are 2 of the biggest companies in the  world. Not  a month passes without them finding something else to lock horns about but  they are the only 2, out of all the mobile companies in the world, who actually make any real money with their products.
In 2007, Apple came up with the first real smartphone. Out of everybody, Samsung was the one who picked up the baton and ran the quickest with it.  They are the company who has adapted the most to the smartphone revolution and we wonder if the reasoning behind that is because of their propensity in copying Apple. Here are 9 ways in which Samsung have copied Apple:
1.       Voice Recorder App
A quick look at the app on the Samsung Galaxy SII could have you thinking you were looking at an iPhone app as they are so much alike.

9.       Mini Stores
Samsung has these within Best Buy Stores, there to help with issues on the Galaxy phones and tablets. Bit like Apple’s Genius bars then.
