Every iPhone Prototype Apple Ever Made Before They Released The First iPhone

From kalleboo's link, here's the particular image from Samsung's brief to look at:

If it's true, it seems pretty persuasive.

(The document is pretty amusing in general: "Design was not the only thing Apple took from other companies in developing the iPhone. While Apple touts itself in the popular press as a company of 'firsts,' it recognizes the opposite internally. As Apple admitted in internal emails, Apple was not the first [redacted] [Redacted] Ex. 4 (DX 578). Nor was it [redacted] Id. Indeed, as one Apple employee explained to an overly enthusiastic marketer, [redacted] Id."

I love the idea that Apple's internal emails actually make frequent use of the word [redacted]. Like, "Hey, has anyone seen my [redacted]? I think I might have left it at a [redacted]. Hopefully that [redacted] reporter doesn't get his hands on it.")

That image is really underwhelming considering what Apple has released. Apple actually gave us a peak into their design process. I really want to see Samsung's now too.

You mock, but it's true: Apple wasn't the first [redacted] [Redacted]. That honor belongs to [redacted], who [redacted] in [redacted].
