Apple are in the news once again, but this time they aren’t trying sue anyone for copying them, instead they are the ones having to pay out for a copyright infringement.<\/p>\n

Those who currently run the iOS 6 operating system which was launched in September inline with the iPhone 5 release will notice that there is a new clock design, and some may think \u201chold on just a second, that clock looks very familiar\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Familiar it most certainly is guys, as it has been reported that the clock design was taken from the Swiss National Railway<\/strong>, and I am sure that they will have been both flattered and happy that the likes of Apple had taken their design with iOS 6.<\/p>\n

Now as Apple ‘lifted’ the design they have also agreed to pay up, and pay up they did, a massive $21 million<\/strong> in fact. The $21 million roughly works out at 10 cents, for each device that currently runs iOS 6.<\/p>\n

Twitter Reaction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wow, Apple steal that clock design for iOS 6 then have to fork out \u00a321m for the privilege. Should have asked first, I say.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Toby Henderson (@heimi) November 12, 2012<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sure, Apple could have spent less than 21 million to simply design their own clock, but that’s not really the point, is it?<\/p>\n

\u2014 Jef van Schendel (@schendje) November 12, 2012<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Apple paid $21M to SBB to use the clock-face design by Hans Hilfker. Can\u2019t help but think I would\u2019ve just changed the design in iOS 6.<\/p>\n
