HTC copies Apple’s iconic 1984 commercial to advertise their iPhone copy

be-different

HTC’s launch of the One A9 has caught the attention of many. The company insists that the latest mid-tier device isn’t an iPhone copy, despite the fact that — from almost every angle — it looks like one. Having spent time with it, we agree in many ways.
