Chinese upstarts OnePlus and Meizu are already pointing fun at the recently launched iPhone 6 range with a couple of images posted on their respective Facebook pages.
When Apple released the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, there was plenty of sniggering from the Android community. For a company that had stood firm against large display’s to finally thrown in the towel with 2 new large screen options was just too funny for Android purists.
It’s not just the size that fans and even smartphone companies have picked up on though, as both OnePlus and Meizu have taken friendly digs at Apple with posts on their Facbook pages today.
Gizchina News of the week
OnePlus decided to welcome Apple to the “Plus Family” joking about the use of the world Plus in the new large iPhone’s name. While Meizu complimented Apple on the design of the iPhone 6, which does happen to have a few similar design aspects as the Meizu MX4.
Fans of both company have found the messages to be playful and good-natured, we wonder if iPhone fans will see them in the same light?
[ Meizu, OnePlus ]
Funny that Meizu’s lead designers can’t make anything other than a almost carbon copy of anything Apple makes.
No offense but most of the past Meizu products were heavily inspired by
Apple. Even to this day they copy a lot what Apple does. However Apple also copies from android so I guess it’s a magical circle.
Well, they’re both inspire by designer Dieter Rams, look at this link, http://visual.ly/braun-or-apple 🙂
I have honestly never noticed any similarity between the two, apart from the similar curve angle to early iPods, which really is not much to compare
