It's quite possible to be insincere without lying outright. If I'd meant to call you a liar then that is the word I would have used. I used the word disingenous because that is what I meant.

Please try not to be so hysterical.

You don't know what disingenuous means then.

At what point did I call you a liar?

Well that's a pretty disingenuous thing to say, but hey, if the facts don't happen to support your arguments why not just start trolling?

And I'd suggest that you're full of it if you claim the iPhone looks nothing like the LG Prada.

You attempted to describe the iPhone in 4 points. 2 of those points exactly described the LG Prada, the other 2 were very similar (a 2x3 grid instead of a 4x4 grid, 2 large buttons instead of 1 large button).

There is a contrasting chrome bezel framing the glossy black front elevation of the device.

LG Prada.

On this elevation, the ear piece is positioned a few millimetres down from the top edge.

LG Prada.

At the bottom of the elevation their is a single large button that returns the user back to the principal screen.

Ok you got me there, the LG Prada has two large buttons at the bottom of the elevation.

Your point is proven wrong though by the fact that there were phones that looked like the iPhone before the iPhone.

Granted they were rubbish to actually use, but they looked good, just like the iPhone does.

Both look like LG Prada knock offs to me.

Engineers don't have any intrinsic smartness advantage over non-engineers. We're (much) better at some things and (much) worse at others.

Proving the parents point I think :)
