The prototype photos were out already in 2012. See this older post of mine for a photo and links.

Here's another article from 2012 with lots of different iPhone proto designs.

It's not necessarily a lie that it was designed in Finland. The customizations were probably designed there

Could have been the same (scandanavian) designer that proposed the iphone one, then reused it after it wasn't taken on. If that design actually belonged to apple, you can be sure the Jolla tablet wouldn't have made it as far as it did...

I found the phone designer: http://infinity.fi/jolla/ . They don't mention the tablet, so only Jolla's chief designer could answer for sure. Like I said before though, they don't outright lie.

Maybe you're right. I don't know the legalities related to prototype designs.

Anyway, it surprised me when I recently saw the old iPhone design, after having seen photos of the Jolla tablet, because they looked almost the same.

Definitely. It's still within the realms of coincidence by shape, but seems really unlikely given the matching colours. That said, it's still a really lovely design, if a bit prone to cracks without a case by the looks of that twitter thread earlier.

Does it really matter who designed the thing? The project is dead.

I like it, too!
We still have a chance to get one from Taobao Acutally, I'm playing with the idea of getting one with Sailfish (and a Lastu case, of course), if it's still available in the coming months.

I'm certainly not bitter, and I really couldn't give shіt where it was designed!
I was suspicious about 6 months ago, and that suspicion turned into reality.

I'm only having a laugh, but I fear you are serious, so maybe you should let it go

The investigation by simo brought some results!
Exclusive interview with Juhani Lassila on the china connection

On the discussed Aigo:
"The similarity comes from factory design - smaller manufacturers save in expenses by selecting their design from an assortment offered by the factory. Jolla picked their hardware, colors, and of course added their unique software to differentiate for Finnish design."

And on taobao tablets with sailfish:
"Officially these devices do not support Jolla Store or updates, as they are not sold through official channels," says Lassila."

http://reviewjolla.blogspot.de/2016/...-in-china.html

Now, this wants me to buy on of those chinese-sailfishs and try "OFFICIALLY not supported"!
Sounds like an invitation

My sincerest apologies, then. I misunderstood.
