Samsung Smartphones are iPhone's Clone: Apple


 

1. The documents submitted by Samsung in the court include images from early 2006 of a handset that is similar to Sony’s Clie PDAs running Palm OS which looks remarkably like the iPhone 4. It had a jog wheel at the top right side, and a combined control wheel and switch with a strong multimedia focus.

2. This image shows how strikingly similar it is to the iPhone 4 and 4S models. The flat, metal-banded sides and the similar proportion of screen size to case can be seen. The edge of the track wheel is visible at top right and the home button at lower left.

3. These 3D models show two designs; one is very similar to the original iPhone. The second, in white with larger bezel areas and rounded edges referred to as "the sony-style chappy" by senior members of Apple's design team was designed by Apple designer Shin Nishibori.
