If you ever read the biography of Steve Jobs have known electronics company Sony is his very favorite. The latter thought that Sony has gone wrong should not pay attention to them anymore but no one can deny the life of Steve Jobs pretty much influenced by Japanese companies, from business style to the design philosophy product design. Recently, the evidence given in the case of Samsung with Apple also showed us another fact: iPhone prototype design also affected by Sony's design language.The story really began in 2006 as vice president in charge of the iPod, Tony Fadell requirements of industrial designers Shin Nishibori built a prototype iPhone inspired design language of Sony. As you can see here, the prototype image is the product P2 with Jony logo font from Sony and Jony is probably an understatement to drive in honor of chief designer Jony Ive. A professional designer from Apple, Richard Howarth has noted about this design, Jony Ive told that it allows to create a product called compact with beautiful shapes when compared with beta other. P2 chassis design like the iPod mini but the wheel has been replaced with swivel screen. It is not difficult to recognize P2 are designed to make use Apple iPhone 4 and 4S later. Howard said that the design of Nishibori not much different than the current iPhone 4S, he also said that commercial design of the iPhone 4 in P2 does not look modern but easy to use.   $ ("# Galleria_1481926907").
