Apple's new iPod Copies Lumia design. Are we expecting a lawsuit here?

There has been plenty of talk recently about various companies — namely Samsung (005930) — copying Apple’s (AAPL) designs, but as BGR has pointed out in the past, some of Apple’s designs are borrowed as well. Revisiting the topic once again, Reddit user future_proof on Wednesday drew attention to the fact that the new iPod nano unveiled during Apple’s press conference looks “uncomfortably familiar.”
Nokia (NOK) was widely praised last year for the sleek and original design of its first flagship Windows Phone, the Lumia 800. That design identity was carried forward in the Lumia 900 and Lumia 920, and Apple’s own lawyers used Nokia’s Lumia phones in court as an example of smartphones that did not copy Apple’s designs.

This is the Lumia 800, released on 2011


This is the Apple Ipod nano 7th gen. released on 2012





Will Nokia sue Apple? ......................... Not sure yet.
Here's Apple's statement while battling a court trial against Samsung:



"At Apple, we value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth. We make these products to delight our customers, not for our competitors to flagrantly copy."


Ironic isn't it?

apple is NOT an inventor THEY'RE innovators. they copy someone else's product and made improvements.

I don't think so Bro.
Even renowned reviewers and gadget critics like Steve Kovach, strongly believes that Apple copied some few features.

So if you say the older iPod inspired the Lumias, but Apple never dared to even think about suing Nokia over the design of N9 and Lumia 800, the similarities aren't that striking- way far off. And, just see how far they have gone against Samsung over Iphone’s design copy.



Even the Lumia shells are copied, check the photos below.
