Prada Phone vs iPhone: They have different buttons. They have different bevel. They use different materials. They have completely different UI. They have completely different feature-sets (expansion/connections/cameras/tech stacks). And no copying was possible because they were announced 30 days apart.

Samsung tablets vs iPad: Same buttons. Same bevel. Same material. Mirrored UI. A clear an blatant copy to confuse consumers.
