I feel like Samsung is losing its light. I have been using Samsung devices for 10+ years and they were always brilliant and innovative. But recently this innovation has seemed to have completely stopped in favour of playing it safe by sticking close to 'Apples' design standard. The 2 companies have long borrowed features from eachother but i believe that Samsung is going too far with the imitations by making what is essentially the exact same apple watch ultra just called the samsung watch ultra, then pretty much copied airpods entire design language for the buds3. And now with this One Ui 7 update it feels like my phone is turning into an Iphone. Whats next? A new design language for the phone with 3 apple like cameras in that back and a rounded rectangle screen cut out🫩

They have been coping each other for years, as they both bring out lots of similar products that can Interact,
As apple has a good money making model suppose samsung wants to follow, if apple made a cable exactly the same as any other cable but had a apple logo it would be 10 times the price, thus it won't be to long g before samsung follows

Apple AI has no AI like the phone the year before apple Titanium with A tiny amount of it around the rim so small that
It don't make difference and that's going this year, the iPhone 16 pro what sold as the AI phone came out with absolutely no AI features at all
Yet they sold 30 million of them
That's smart marketing init, like selling the fastest car in the world with no engine and no one complains and hands over thousands

I do too. Can't wait for the Ui 8 and what that ruins our smart devices next, Can't be any worse than ui 7 did.

What does it matter if it "looks" like Apple? I don't use Apple devices, so however it looks, it won't be anything but Samsung to me. In terms of UI it keeps to the traditional OneUI design implemented over 6 years ago so I'm happy with it.

Unfortunately it's all Global marketing, almost everyis the same, cookers, fridges , washing machines, phones , computers, and even cars share most of the frame and instruments, only a handful of companies own everything really in each sector, just different badges and logos, most new phones iPhone Google samsung are basically a slight improvement on the year or two years before, with a few novelty bits thrown in , maybe in a slightly different colour or size .

So it's not the fact the split has merit and can be useful (as well as turned off and reverted back) it's that you think it's iOS like? The fact Samsung gives you this option makes you upset? Best buy Apple so it doesn't "feel" like you're being copied then and forced into a stricter UI system, so much more pure. 🙄

This post isn't about this one individual feature, although im not a fan of Samsung enabling these features by default after an update. This post is more so about samsungs trend towards just fitting in with other brands as opposed to be innovative like they used to be
