Apple gets trolled by Samsung, Sony, HTC, IKEA....

In the wake of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus announcement, Apple is receiving some much-deserved jibes from the competition. Samsung was the first on board, but the rest soon followed.

The Cupertino company stuck to its guns as hard as it could when it came to the size of phone screens, but there’s only so far you can go before principles become stubbornness to move with the times.
