Network World's iOnApple reports on a recently-unsealed deposition given by
Apple design chief Jonathan Ive in the ongoing patent war between Apple and
Samsung, a session in which Ive was shown photos of Apple's earliest iPad
mockups that apparently date to some time between 2002 and 2004. From Ive's
testimony:
My recollection of first seeing it is very hazy, but it was, I'm guessing,
sometime between 2002 and 2004, some but it was I remember seeing this and
perhaps models similar to this when we were first exploring tablet designs
that ultimately became the iPad.
As the report notes, the mockup is quite similar to what was eventually
released as the iPad well over five years later, although it was
significantly thicker given the state of the technology at the time.
Notably, the mockup lacked a home button but in other respects from the
general form factor to the presence of a dock connector certainly mirrors
the final shipping product.
Additional photos are included in the original report. |
