Exactly.
What it should be is have a discussion, come to a licensing agreement, pay for a design *then* use a design, not the other way around.
SBB were not approached by Apple to licence the design at any point. SBB had to go to Apple. As I said, arrogance and hipocrasy on Apple's part.
Are you really suggesting that the Apple designer who designed the Clock application didn't just copy the SBB design? And knowingly do it?
How do think Mondaine feel? They had exclusive rights to produce watches to this design.
Oh yeah, why should I bother asking, you obviously know much more about it than anybody else. And why should I care right? Grow up.

You're making far more assumptions than me. All you know is what you've read in the gutter press, you've simply jumped on the bandwagon for a ride and quite frankly it's boring.

And you are assuming I've only gleaned information from the "gutter press". You will have noticed that I actually raised it very early on after iOS6 was released. The reasons why I won't bother sharing.

Apple are a ******* disgrace, For the last two weeks I've been 'trying' to buy an iphone 5 to replace my old and slow iphone 3, The local apple store down the road has no stock of iphone 5's, they told me to reserve one direct from their website (this needs to be done every ******* day BTW!) and they will email me when they have stock, so 14 days pass 14 days of reserving bloody phones and still no bloody email..
Apple are seriously letting themselfs down by the way they are handling all of this.

Three/Four week dispatch time!
I then need to drive 35 miles and **** around getting my Sim changed because apparently the new phones have a smaller Sim card..
Think I'll just get the 4s instead, can't be ar$ed with all this ******* around for the sake of a new phone.

I think Apple could have been waiting to see how much interest there is in a 7" form factor device, and it has seen there is demand, and obviously fancies a slice of that pie, and is probably betting on it being a very large slice too. People were seemingly underwhelmed by the iPhone 5, but it sold out quicker than the similarly underwhelming 4S, so it will be interesting to see what will happen with an iPad mini. As with the 5, I'm not going to get a personal one, I've no real need nor desire for one probably as I'll been using the thing daily at work.
