A few days after Apple announced the iPhone, Korean handset maker LG officially unveiled the Prada phone, a Prada-branded touchscreen phone that bore some similarities to the iPhone. Unlike the iPhone, the Prada Phone was not a closely guarded secret, as pictures of it had been available to the public for some time.
First Apple is sued for using the iPhone name and now they are accused of ripping off a design. In the end, Apple is still the real winner. I wouldn’t go as far as to say they could get away with murder, but it’s pretty close to that point.
