It's 2013 -- can we stop beating this dead horse? The people who always go back to the trough to say; "But Apples stole from Xerox" don't ever bother to get their facts right, nor do they understand that nothing was COPIED -- they only used the ideas.
Out of context, and not referring to anyone specifically about this, but can it be assumed that we just don't want to see this statement anymore, except in jest?
You betcha Samsung are worried about losing component orders - where else are they going to get the ideas to put into their highly profitable 'no research needed' copying business?
Speaking of incorrect memes, this one needs to die as well.
Component orders don't give a chip supplier the info needed to copy search boxes, icons, bezels, packaging or any of the other things that people accuse some companies of doing. To do that, they have to buy the product after it goes on sale.
The only suppliers who know ahead of time what a product is physically going to look like are the ones who make the touchscreen, cover glass and case.
The only companies who know what a product will act like before it goes on sale, are the ones designing it (Apple), or building it (Foxconn) or testing it (carriers).
Don't make me laugh. A picture of different products on different packages, different names on different packages, the sizes are also different (most probably).
You need to re-define the word "copy" in your vocabulary.
<span style="font-size:13px;line-height:1.231;">Apple used to use a book-like box for its small devices. Device on one side.</span>
Months before the iPhone came out, the LG Prada used a new style of box where you took off the lid and the smartphone was staring you in the face, with accessories underneath.
What absolute fucking bullshit. I'd ban you for trying to pass that off as a valid argument.
Apple used a certain style for their iPods which is not the same kind of product as their iPhone.
Sales started in May 2007 with the iPhone going on sale in June 2007. You really think in less than a month Apple redesigned their iPod-like boxes for the iPhone to have a top lid? The fucking thing took 18 months to sell 1 million units so it wasn't exactly a competitor in any sense of the term.
Apple used boxes with the accessories below the device with their Macs long before shitty-shitty-bang-bang id est the LG Prada was ever conceived.
Apple made a more sophisticated, high-end device that cost considerably more than the average iPod so they made a box the appropriate box for it. It's that's fucking simple. Apple didn't steal box technology from LG. Apple didn't crap months of pre-production to design, make and repackage from iPod-like boxes for the iPhone. In fact, the square footprint of the old iPod Classic box closely resembles LG's box than it does the iPhone box but in no way would I imply LG stole the idea of a squared box that doesn't mirror the included CE from Apple.
Seriously, you couldn't figure out that the before-and-after picture was mocking all the other idiotic before-and-after pictures that people post?
The point is, neither LG nor Apple invented pictures on boxes, or accessories underneath, or items right on top... or as some people claim, all black or all white colors.
Don't make me laugh. A picture of different products on different packages, different names on different packages, the sizes are also different (most probably).
You need to re-define the word "copy" in your vocabulary.
Why should I re-define it when, according to the English dictionary, it means this:
1: "a thing made to be similar or identical to another". 2: "Imitate the style or behaviour of".
Here another two examples to make you smile. Must be bliss to live in denial.
Btw, should you be visually impaired, don't feel ashamed to say so. We're here for you!

Just making a point.
