    Is it me or the first photo looks like an LG Chocolate Series, L Series or Nokia Lumia 800/900?


     


    It's impressive to know how that designs were pushed out to the market by other brands yet they still weren't enough for Apple. I love ?.

    Apple should never have shown those prototypes. Guess what the next ten Samsung phones and tablets will look like.

    Speaking of the tablets, it's interesting how many of them were using the 4:3 aspect ratio. I still can't believe the rest of the industry is still trying to compete with the iPad with a format that is only good for one orientation.

    Speaking of which, I did notice quite a few of those prototypes looked as if they were 16:9, and didn't make the cut.


     


    So now one has to wonder what Apple has in mind for that aspect ratio to crop up again in the rumored iPhone "5"

    It will be interesting to see Samsungs design process.

    I wonder how much Sony would have paid for the right to use Ive's "Jony" iPhone design.


    Probably millions.

    Just FYI, here's the specific phone that Samsung claims Apple copied in their original iPhone design.


    (According to John Paczkowski, All Things D, and John Gruber, anyway...)


     


    Get a load of this:

    Now, does that look like the original iPhone?


    Does it look like any iPhone?


     


    Yeah, I didn't think so either.

    If you can't visualize this phone without the keyboard and with the screen elongated, then you're not in "Sony" Ive's team.


    It's virtually identical to Iphone 4 series.

    Samsung is totally screwed in this case, Apple is going to nail their butt's to the cross....

    Oh I don't know. Never underestimate stupidity.

    Take that UK judge for example.

    Why not? Market research told them it's what everyone wants.

    Apple is probably already ten generations ahead.

    So early in the game and Samsung is already in "check". By showing the jury 40 prototypes (and I'm sure there are many more) of early iPhones design concepts, Apple strikes down the notion by Samsung (and many of their fans) that there's only so many ways to design a phone around a basic rectangle and they will all end up resembling an iPhone. Here Apple showed that there are many many ways to design a phone, around a "basic rectangle", without it looking exactly like the actual iPhones that was released. Apple showed to the jury that the design of the iPhone is more than the 2 dimensional basic rectangle that Samsung wants you believe it is. It's more or less like a 3 dimensional rectangular cuboid (only without the right angles).
