HTC North Asia president Jack Tong denied allegations that his company cloned the iPhone with its new HTC One A9 handset. “We’re not copying. We made a unibody metal-clad phone in 2013. It’s Apple that copies us in terms of the antenna design on the back,” Tong said.
There is no disputing part of Tong’s claim. HTC did indeed begin making unibody metal phones long before Apple did. Here’s what they looked like:
HTC One M7 (Introduced Feb 19, 2013)
HTC One M8 (Introduced March 25, 2014)
HTC One M9 (Introduced March 1, 2015)
HTC One A9 (Introduced October 20, 2015)
Those are the last Four generations of the HTC One line. Looks like a very smart, polished evolution in the device's design.
Let's now take a look at the last Four generations of the Apple iPhone....
Apple iPhone 3G (Introduced June 9, 2008)
Apple iPhone 4 (Introduced June 4, 2010)
Apple iPhone 5 (Introduced September 12, 2012)
Apple iPhone 6 (Introduced September 9, 2014)
