Oh you are talking about looks? I was talking about functionality. The HTC one requires swiping also.
Apple didnt buy any technology. Finger print scanner isnt for sale and isnt owned by anyone.
Apple might have trade marked the name "Touch ID". So no one else can use the word. Just like retina and they also tried trade marking "appstore" lol.
I am sure Apple would try to sue if someone made it look exactly the same. They tried suing for rectangle shape in the past.
But I was talking about functionality and the Huawei works just the same as the finger print scanner on Iphones.. I dont see anyone else anyone else gonna use a round home button.
And reason i brought up the words is because I dont expect technical persons to use those words. They know better lol.
