Samsung’s smartphone copycat game makes sense, but it’s time to stop

If you’ve been following rumors about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 lineup, you’ve probably heard that the phones may imitate not just the iPhone 16, but even the distant, unreleased iPhone 17. Design changes could include iPhone-like rounded edges, as well as an “S25 Slim,” obviously inspired by the rumors of an iPhone 17 Slim. Or perhaps Samsung has its own industry sources, since it’s worth putting an ear to the ground when billions of dollars are at stake.
