So what? The Galaxy S6 Edge can let you place your phone down on the glass and then light up the edges with one of 5 colors like neon lights under a douchebag's car. Top that, Apple¡ But seriously, these are great pics but I have to think Apple had this waiting specifically to release the day of the Samsung S6 event.

It also has glass backing, which was so not cool when Apple did it because that stuff was fragile, but now it's cool again cause Samdung!
Imagine being an Apple fan in 1997, and someone from the future told you that in 2015 Apple would be making the most popular smartphone, tablet, camera, media player, have the most popular music download service, that Macs were taking over again, and that they made more money than any other corporation on the planet. You'd think he was crazy! (and you'd want to know what a smartphone and tablet were ). Yet here we are.

People are furious about that. Over on Ars the general sentiment is basically "So it's an iPhone running Android now? Lame!"
Not that any Samsung is even in the same zip code as an iPhone, but they still think so, so I'll humor them.
