The thing that makes me smile is that Apple is constantly trying to bully companies. They try to legally strong arm them into getting their way. It irritates me to no end when I read yet another situation where Apple thinks it is an do whatever it wants. I hope that iFone sticks it to them. You can only imagine the senseless hours that have been wasted by iFone defending what they rightfully own.

Another article i found on Apple. http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad+Mini+Teardown/11423/3

They give it a 2/10 rating for fixibility. 10 is the easiest.

Great news. Why should Apple win? This company was using iFone long before the iPhone came around.

Apple is just digging a deeper hole for itself.

APPLE hasn't actually invented anything. Here's your proof.

Ya. Totally just another recipe using other peoples parts and ideas. I was surprised that they even gave them credit for this being innovation never mind invention.

Well if you watched that video they definitely got Unibody

Also this would be interesting with Software, since Apple did there more but i understand this is hard to confirm and they most likely would been flooded as there way more aspects in software

I hate to pop your bubble but most software is innovative. There are so many variations in software. But that being said apple proved with osx 9 that they were not that good at it. Unix changed the game for them. This was the building block they needed and it didn't come from them.

And the Unibody thing... Great invention... Too bad it was useless.

That only proves that they sucks in kernel development, but they did lot of interesting UI stuff

And i dont see how unibody is "was useless" as they still using it

UI is not invention as much as art. Everyone does this. Microsoft just did this with Windows 8.

The unibody concept was not used as it proved far too expensive to machine the cases with C&C machines. They couldn't do it. Everyone uses cast aluminum. Sony did it before them.

Then why people care so much that Apple copied notification bar if it's "not invention as much as art"? i tell you why... because it's not just art it's a solution to the problem, you using it, not just look at it.

I don't care that they copied it. In fact I wish everyone would take ideas from everyone and stop trying to act like they invited the universe. A pull down notification screen is cool. Did Google go ape **** on Apple over it? No. Why? Because they are proving they have some class in this mobile world. Apple is the one that keeps pointing fingers and acting like a immature child on the playground. Motorola just dropped a number of law suits that had already been deemed as valid against apple. They will win the war with innovation and value. Not by over marketing their limited over priced products.
