These copies of the iPhone could be the litmus for Apple to prepare to introduce newer models or revamped firmware. That is, if they see any type of dent in their touchscreen phone market by other companies topping Apple's current iPhone features.

You know, currently there is a lot of complaining about lack of features on the iPhone. But to Apple's advantage, we all still have their product, and are using it daily as much as we need. There is really no outside force making Apple update features such as other phone makers copying the iPhone.

Competition from Nokia or any other company is good for us.
