In announcing Thursday the release of its new Prada phone, LG Electronics didn’t claim it was competing with the heavily-hyped Apple iPhone scheduled to be released in June. It didn’t have to. The media did it on its own with headlines boldly suggesting the iPhone already had a competitor. Indeed, the new Prada Phone looks a lot like the forthcoming iPhone. It’s sleek and thin and it has a buttonless touch screen. However, for all its smoothness and flatness, the Prada phone is an orange and the iPhone is — you guessed it — an Apple.
