My later post clarified what I meant which was exactly what you're referring to: they were mulling how Apple might design a phone like Sony would. And it is key.
The point isn't that the iPhone ripped off an existing Sony phone, it's that the document proves that these ideas of sleek simplicity that Apple are defending already existed in the zeitgeist from before the iPhone. They were not Apple's alone, and Samsung have every right to draw from the same well.
