That's because they all became copycats of the successful iPhone. . . Samsung was such a copycat they copied the iPhone down to the chargers and the box it came in for their first post iPhone phone. There was a 127 page internal memo from upper management to their engineers about how to make their phone look and operate like an iPhone. . . smoking gun level infringement stuff. It got them a $1 billion dollar judgement against them they're still appealing. . . but as you can see from the comparison photo, Samsung was not the only one who jumped on the "me, too" bandwagon of look alike phones to the iPhone. It is hard to find a phone that doesn't look something like an iPhone today.
