Effectively, that did not take lengthy. Following this week’s launch of the Nothing Telephone (1), Canadian smartphone equipment firm dbrand is promoting cellphone skins and circumstances that mimic the Telephone (1)’s Glyph interface.
The circumstances are known as, after all, One thing. (Tagline: “It is higher than nothing.”)
The copy did make me snigger:
“MINIMALISM FOR THE MASSES”
“Think about making an attempt to interrupt into the smartphone market. Seems, having much less cash than Apple makes it slightly tough. Availability? Restricted. Provide? Constrained. Even with a design so compelling that individuals pay ridiculous markups at StockX, no person can get their fingers in your fancy new flashlight. To prime all of it off, the assholes at dbrand have parroted your design and are making it for the competitors. Sorry, Carl.”
“Some would possibly accuse us of theft. This is our counter: we stole nothing. In spite of everything, we have spent numerous time taking a look at inner {hardware} due to our Teardown initiative. Consequently, we’re uniquely certified to tear off an industrial design aesthetic and “creatively reinterpret” it for different units. That is not theft – it is plagiarism, which is certainly not a criminal offense. We checked.”
The skins run $20, the circumstances are $55. Apple-, Google- and Samsung-fitting fashions are provided.
