Android devices before and after the iPhone/iPad

To deny the obvious design cloning is to reach an extreme level of Apple-hating that even I can't understand.

That's not the point. The point that the GP was making was that changing the aspect ratio of an image is something you have to DO, not just forget to do.

So Apple deliberately misled the court by providing misleading "eveidence" to the court.

So what if models were used? Everybody looked at Exhibit A and Exhibit B, which may have been accurate models. BUT the picture they were given, and which will be their primary reference once the models are taken away, is misleading. Which is going to be foremost in their minds come decision time? Yep, you guessed it - the picture they have in their hand.

Very clever, Apple. Wrong, but very, very, clever. And I only thought of it this way because of the fanbois who posted replies about the models (which I didn't know about).
