HTC claims the One A9 will be a perfect replacement for the iPhone

The first thing that comes to mind when looking at any of the HTC One A9’s leaked photos is that the smartphone looks a hell of a lot like the iPhone 6, which seems toย have been intentional. According to HTC CEO Cher Wang,ย the HTC One A9 has been designed toย be the perfect replacement for the iPhone, but what that really means is that the struggling company is soย desperateย to turn its shrinking sales around that it’s hadย to resort to copying the iPhone. That being said, I’m still looking forward to the HTC One A9’s announcement event tomorrow.ย 

HTC is slated to announce its next smartphone in New York City on Tuesday, October 20th, where weโ€™re expecting the Taiwan-based tech giant to unveil the heavily-rumored One A9. HTC needs a smartphone that will sell, and according to Cher Wang, the companyโ€™s CEO, it should have no problem in that area. In a letter sent out to employees earlier today, Wang said that the upcoming HTC smartphone will be a good alternative to Appleโ€™s iPhones.ย This should come as no surprise if youโ€™ve been keeping up with all of the One A9 leaks and rumors as of late. According to the slew of leaked photos making their way around the web, the One A9 will look extremely similar to Appleโ€™s most recent iPhone 6/6 Plus line. The new phone will โ€œstrike a balance between beauty, performance and simplicity,โ€ Wang continues. This, she says, will make it a good alternative to the iPhone.ย After cutting 15 percent of its workforce due to poor sales and posting yet another unfortunate quarterly loss this year, the new handset needs to perform well to keep HTC afloat. The company has also recently been dropped from the TWSE 50 Index, which is the stock market index of Taiwanโ€™s 50 largest firms.
