Evidence can be cherry picked to show really anything a lawyer conjures up. For example I can throw up this graphic.

Neither this slide and Apple's slide really offer the entire story, the truth is probably something in between. You really have to take as much evidence as possible into account before making broad and overly concrete statements otherwise someone is going to call you out on it. Just saying.
Yes you could throw that graphic up but it would be junk:

This has been a pretty large story over the last few days. Apple is suing Samsung basically for stealing their iPhone design. A photo appeared showing what is the Samsung F700 claiming it was before the iPhone, and that has started a little firestorm of discussion. Both our sister site SlashGear and all of us here on Android Community have it out for incorrect factoids, thusly here come the dogs – onward, to truth!

When you really get down to this stories deep roots, it looks like in the beginning Apple had the design and Samsung tried to copy it, but failed miserably.
