A little annoyed yes, it makes me think Intel went and made something to fit between the i5 and i7,
Ha. Yes, so the price can go way up and the quality way down. At least will be easier for NSA to insert spyware.
Anyway, all phones look the same now, just a big screen. Well, except Apple like to include a huge bezel.

So now Samsung is copying the negative perception of "too big" to drive the production of copies of new pants with bigger pockets too? It's not enough to rip off the products from which Apple directly makes it's money... now they also want to rip off the imagined issues made up by fans against the next iPhone design because only the one for sale right now is the one and only perfect size for everyone (forget that used to be the argument for the 3.5" screen phone too).
Seems to me that 1) The pants makers should be very excited about the new iPhone and 2) maybe Apple should have spent that $3B on Levis and similar since we'll all apparently need to buy new pants soon.
Maybe the new category for Apple in 2014 is pants?
Launch day: "shut up and take my money" and "best pants ever"
5 days later: watch Samsung start making pants now
2 years later: Apple invented pants
5 years later: Apple invented legs

Character and morality in US? You are actually telling me american are better than other people? Please, people are just people in the end, I don't care if you are american, or not. You can expect just as much leak by bringing the job back to US. Someone will always take the money.
Be realistic.
Plus, it won't help, as if American workers in supply chain companies won't leak?
I read that initially as "fleshlight" which made this sentence a whole lot more interesting.
Not a hundred percent sure, but I believe ninja's are from Japan. I don't know what the equivalent would be in China...
Everyone was so excited to see the iphone 5. Sadly it was a stretched iphone 4 with the same nasty bezel.
Everyone is so excited to see the iphone 6. It will be the iphone 5 stretched sideways now, still with the same nasty bezel.
That glorious creation is from KFC:

No bun, just fried chicken surrounding cheese and _bacon_.
Doing business with china is so great! http://thenextweb.com/us/2014/05/30...as-factory-assembles-moto-x-smartphones-2014/
And you forgot to mentions all the leaky oil and melted fat from the stir fry process...
Regardless, it's delicious!
It's not about deciding when to be secretive and when not to. You have to establish secrecy as a business rule, and you have to practice it so that you're consistently good at it.
If you weren't secretive one year or for one product, then you were secretive later, that already tells the competition that something significant is happening. Besides, trivial things to consumers are not trivial to competition. A simple design change, or even no change at all, gives the competition an early lead on what the market leader is doing before product launch.
There was a football player from years ago, can't remember his name or who he played for, that said no matter how hard he was hit, he always got up slowly. That way the opponent could never tell if they hurt him.
I couldn't agree less. If you want to build complex things there is no better place than Asia/china.

And all this pre-launch negativity about it being too big, need new pants, etc. will evaporate overnight, replaced by "shut up and take my money" and "best iPhone ever" and similar just like it did in the hop from 3.5" to 4".
It's the same over and over. We hate it while Apple doesn't endorse it in the currently-available product mix. Then Apple rolls it out and we love it. It's not that we actually detested _________ itself. We just didn't like it because Apple didn't appear to like it. Once Apple does like it, we like it too.
