Millet vice President Hugo denies plagiarism: only learn from the iphone's excellent design

Beijing time October 29 Morning news, vice president of Millet, Google before the high Tangyugo (Hugo Barra) said Tuesday, there can be many adjectives to describe millet, but millet is not a mere copycat. This month, Barak served as vice president of Millet for 1 years. Millet was founded only 4 years ago and is still exploring the Indian and Brazilian markets. In these markets, millet hopes to attract budget-limited consumers with cheap smartphones and tablets. In addition, Millet is also continuing to develop its own business model, at cost price or close to the cost of selling more than 1000 kinds of products, including mobile phones, accessories, televisions and plush toys. Millet tries to make little money on every item sold. But Barak said that millet should not be seen as a copycat, and millet merely borrowed from Apple's design innovations on the iphone and the ipad. Earlier, Jonathan Ive, Apple's industrial design director, Jonasan Aivy that Millet was a design thief and very lazy. Barak has defended millet at the October 9 Vanity Fair summit. He once again made a statement on the matter, indicating that the issue was far from being resolved. "Our designers and engineers are inspired by excellent products and excellent design," said Laguna, a Wall Street Journal live Technology Conference in Beach, Calif. In the current world, who doesn't? In our industry, can you point out a product with a completely independent design language? You can't find such a product. Barak said he was a big Apple fan and called the September IPhone6 the world's most beautifully designed smartphone. But while Apple is a global design mecca, the company also draws inspiration from other companies. Barak points out that IPhone6 borrowed from HTC's design language. "I think it's a good thing that Apple has borrowed from the current good ideas and will be designing them," he said. This is their practice and it is our practice. About the millet and other companies suspected of copying the design of Apple, Ivy has a different view. "I don't think it's a compliment," he said earlier. When you do something for the first time, you don't know if you can achieve it. You spent seven or eight years doing some work, but then you were copied. Frankly, my first feeling was that I could have spent the weekend with my family, but I didn't. I think this is a thief, is a kind of lazy behavior. Over the past few years, Apple has had a patent dispute with several companies around the world to defend its design and development efforts. The iphone accounts for more than 50% of Apple's total revenues, and Apple CEO Tim Cook said in Monday that smartphones will remain the main source of revenue and profit for Apple over the next 3-5 years. According to Strategy Analytics data, the current millet is the world's fifth-largest expert machine manufacturers, behind Samsung, Apple, Huawei and Lenovo.
