Et tu, Lenovo? The blatant iPhone copying game continues
While Samsung may very well be the iPhone copier emeritus, there are some new kids on the block who are even more blatant and shameless in ripping off anything emanating out of Cupertino.
Earlier this summer, we profiled Xiaomi, a consumer electronics company out of China whose products and advertising materials borrow far too liberally from the iPhone and the iPad. Somewhat bizarrely, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun is an unabashed Steve Jobs fan who likes to trot out on stage wearing a black shirt and jeans and has, in the past, thrown up a "one more thing" slide during product presentations.
Not to be outdone, Lenovo recently decided to enter the "let's copy the iPhone" game as well. And they're playing for keeps.
Android Authority (via Gizmobic) points us to the Lenovo iPhone 6. Oh wait, my bad. It's actually the Lenovo s90 Sisley. Given the blatant copying going on here, it's no surprise that the s90 is only available for purchase in China.
Take a closer look and you'll notice that those rounded icons bear a certain similarity to iOS. The Music and Photos icons are particularly egregious.
Lenovo even went so far as to try and mimic the iPhone 6's wallpaper. Check out this photo comparison.
But wait, there's more!
Both Gizmobic and Android Authority have quite a few more photos highlighting the uncanny resemblance the s90 bears to the iPhone 6.
