So now the claim is that LG owns the rights to a two tone color scheme despite the devices neither looking alike nor mimicking the iPhone in any other way. You let us know when LG files a lawsuit against Apple's for the iPhone 4/4S; though even you could get your GED, get a college degree, get law degree, and pass the bar making you a bona fide patent attorney so you can finally have an idea of what is being discussed when the adults talk before LG will make such a foolish attempt to claim that a two-tone scheme is theres.
It's really amazing you think these look the same. At least learn to put a little thought into your trolling.
How clever to take his point, make it into something it wasn't, and then argue against it. His point: the iPhone 4 looks at least as much like the LG Prada as the Samsung GSII looks like the iPhone 4. Nothing about the iPhone 3G(S) comes into the equation. The iPhone 4 and Prada look almost identical. Here's how: a rectangular form factor with a completely flat front and back, an edge-to-edge front surface covering a touchscreen, a black bezel that is thicker and equal on the top and bottom and thinner and equal on the sides, a metal band encircling the device, and a small speaker on the bottom of device located at the midpoint of the metal band. In fact the only ways that the devices aren't identical design-wise (this excludes dimensionality in case you wanted to tell me that the iPhone is thinner) is style of the buttons on the front and the placement of the charging port.
Clearly the original iPhone does not infringe on the Prada.
Apple waited until the i4 before it copied the Prada. These FanTards are out of their freaking minds.
With the iPad, they didn't even wait for the 4th iteration, just copied the front view appearance of Samsung's photo frame from the start and added a button.
Of course my statement would be fallacious if one accepted that a rectangle with rounded corners, a flat reflective glass front surface and a black border was a very obvious design with nothing remarkably unique to recommend it.
But, i think you were trying to say looking at the back side of the phones? In which case, you need some new glasses. Here is the back side of the lg prada and iphone 1st gen. 4th gen looks nothing like it either. Thanks for playing.
Wrong two phones, DAMN you're dumb. Thats like me doing this

The claim is neither that LG owns the rights to a certain scheme nor that they should sue Apple. Simply that the iPhone 4(S) very much resembles the LG Prada, is that really so hard to admit? I'm talking simply in looks, not how differently they functioned. Is it totally out of the question that someone at Apple decided to copy the overall look of the LG Prada and make it more svelte and more sexy?
Apple got pissed off because Samsung were a trusted supplier and they used this to rip off Apples designs, so they hit the courts.
The reality is that this is what happens when you piss off Apple. Samsung are just too stupid/don't care to get it. They will never sell anywhere near as many Galaxy tabs as Apple will ship iPads and they will lose business for their component arm.
In the current global climate you would imagine that you would want to ally yourself with companies that are making money rather than alienate them.
Yes but the Samsung is a copy of the first design which was LG's and not Apple's. They copied a copy and which is way more than a 20%. Where the buttons are does not effect the overall "look". If you want to nit pick, then the Samsung's button is rectangular, and there are two capacitive buttons on either side of it, the ear piece hole is almost twice as wide, the corners are less round, and other than the four icons on the home screen it looks very different.
You mention this yet you don't mention the Samsung F700. The thing was first shown at almost the same time as the original iphone, and it's a very similar design to what they use now. The newer Samsung phones just look like they came from the design trend of the F700. The thing had a touchscreen ui, but they also included a QWERTY keyboard. That design minus the QWERTY is pretty much what you see today. It debuted something like a month after the iphone. No company knocks off a design in a month, and they aren't exactly assembling prototypes for Apple.
I love when people bring up the Samsung F700. Here's the picture that was floating around for some time trying to make the iPhone look like it copied the F700.
Do you like Sesame Street?
One of these things is not like the other, two of these things are kinda the same....
Now someone should post up pics of that POS LG Prade showing the various screens for comparison. BTW, has anyone in ths thread bringing up the Prada actually read any reviews about it? Or comparison reviews with the original iPhone? When I say it was a POS I'm not kidding. It was junk.

With Apple's track record of screwing over its allies, Samsung is doing the f'ing this time.

1) Unless the pic has been updated, which I doubt, the dates used in that photo of the F700 are wrong. Edit: Yep, "Shown February 2007 and sales ales began in November 2007 but you wont see resident trolls noting that because it hurts their already weak argument.
2) It's funny that the photoshopped the F700 into the hand holding the iPhone for the dubious comparison.
3) How is the Music Player app highlighted on the F700. Did they want you to tap once to highlight and double-tap to open like a desktop OS?

The most important question, like that of the LG Prada, is: Were any pictures of the software of this thing shown before the announcement of the iPhone?

You guys are a bit dumb, arent you? Your argument would make sense if Apple was suing for functionality which they're not, its a suit based on looks and you actually made a good point in Samsungs favor. Did Apple's lawyer have the Galaxy Tab and iPad on when he asked if they could differentiate them? No, why? Because the difference would've been obvious.

If Apple is guilty of anything it knowing what not to steal and the F700 is the poster child of a crap phone from the HW to the SW.

But then they wouldn't BE trolling!
A couple of sarcastic posts might be funny. Constantly doing it... just reverse trolling.
Who will get banned first. Absolute, Conrad or Gator? (alphabetical order)
I know who my money is on!
I'd include anyone who keeps posting their entire photo album of their tablets.

The iPhone 4 was demoed in 2007? really?
yeah. In this era of Fox News, facts sure are strange, aren't they?
Uh, 360° is still the same view, genius.

Is this what Apple's suing for?
fandroids keep showing this eventhough the working iPhone was shown before this. Get your facts straight before posting lies.
working iPhone demoed: Jan 7, 2007
official press release photoshopped LG Prada images shown: Jan 18 2007
Really? A working version of the iPhone 4(S) was shown back in 2007? Show me where

Samsung said no.
