they're very similar I agree especially this new iteration by Apple brings them to an almost identical look

Especially in their lawsuit against Samsung, Apple even made a point to note how awesome Nokia worked on That design
so Apple certainly admires it....

Nothing has changed in 20 years. Sure we have much faster CPU's and graphic cards, hard drives have gotten larger and cheaper, and we've gone from CD-ROM to DVD to Blu-Ray. But the basic PC has changed very little. I've built 2 new rigs the last 4 years and the only improvement was they got faster. They never gained any groundbreaking features - only a few minor updates like hard drive interfaces and USB ports.
Now think about Windows. In the last 10 years what "amazing" new features have you seen appear in Windows? Mobile OS's are getting to the same stage that Windows is - they are full-featured and there won't be a lot of "huge" features added to them.
And where do you draw the line between the OS and the App? At what point do you decide if a feature should be part of an App or the OS itself? Should you just put everything (including the kitchen sink) into the OS so that it becomes bloated? Should you make a barebones OS and rely on App developers to add the features everyone wants?

Its Apples fault, their brilliant marketing over the Iphone has a side effect and that is they have to try and live up to their own Hype and that Hype compounds year after year
that's why the Ipad3 and the Iphone5 has been so disappointing for people
you can't blame people for expecting

when Apple has instilled in them the emotions to feel that way
