Is the iPhone inspired from Sony?

The brilliance of Sony has remained unquestioned. While Apple recycled and integrated technologies that revolutionized end user computing, Sony on the other hand has revolutionized the entire entertainment and music industry and continue do so today. With a design heritage of numerous marvelous products, Sony has infact remained to be an inspiration for Steve Jobs himself. During his days as a youngster, Steve always admired the way Sony used to build its products and seems like Steve has also taken inspiration from Sony to build the iPhone. It really comes as a shock for mobile app developer and fans. Some of the leaks that appeared on Xperia blog have posted many pictures from a confidential mail circulated within apple.

Actually, the revelation has come as a result of the ongoing fight between Samsung and Apple. The infringement violations charges put on Samsung has the company come out in its own defense with this leak. It argues that if it has copied a few aspects from Apple’s iPhone, then Apple has also done the same in the past and this has remained as a trend in the electronic industry from a long time.

It seems that an Apple designer, Shin Nishibori, was asked by Steve Jobs to create Sony like designs for an upcoming mobile phone and compliment it with a logo of Sony and Jony. The design in the picture resembles the iPhone 4 type flat design. 
  
Sony and Apple enjoy a good relationship and have not dragged each other in the court for any patent infringement issues. In the mean time mobile app developers have hailed the great aesthetic built of the Xperia Z and are also excited about the designs of the next round of Xperia phablets from Sony.
