I don't think it looks anything like the ipad because I know but the use of aluminium and placement of buttons etc is a dead giveaway for copycat behaviour. It'll unfortunately not help them sell any just by making it look the same.
Got a tip for us?

Nokia Unveils Android-Powered N1 Tablet With iPad Mini-Inspired Design

It's pretty insane that Nokia went from the biggest mobile manufacturer in the world, to declining, to being bought out by Microsoft, and the only thing left of old Nokia is they're making cheap Chinese iPad clone knockoffs running Android. How the mighty are non-existent. Luckily Apple has already had their scare in the 90s and learned their lesson. Instituting the Apple University and other things will help ensure that future employees don't repeat the same mistakes. They still have much to learn, however, but I don't ever see Apple ending up like this—at least not for the next 30 years. They probably won't be the biggest company forever, but they'll stay quite relevant.
That's a pretty ugly bimmer. Not that BMWs are generally very attractive cars. The poor man's Porsche lol
And don't get me started on their drivers :eyeroll:
That's not a bimmer, its a Chinese clone, pretty convincing huh?
I don't know what sort of Koolaid people on here are drinking, but this looks absolutely nothing like an iPad Mini, not even close.
About the only similarity is that they're both rectangles.

Well at least it has better specs than the iPad Mini 3.....
That and a better price.
If it weren't for my need to run iWork apps this'd be a REALLY nice tablet.
Not to mention that it looks like it'd feel better in the hands too.
Don't see this mattering too much going forward. If the iPhone 6 plus keeps its size or grows then iPad mini will wither away. The way I see it is small and large iPhone and medium and large iPad that way all avenues are covered
I'm not sure, rounded vs chamfered edges.
no lock button
no home button
different colours
different OS
The white hand in both pics do look the same, so I think he might be onto something
On a serious note I do think the N1 has some of the feel of the iPhone 6 because of the rounded corners. I think even Apples best lawyer would have a hard time prove customers confused the iPhone and the Nokia N1.
I thought the phones were Samsung's too since the laptop and mini computer were. I think the iPhone 6 looks more like the S5 than the the Samsung's looked like the 5S, and the Galaxy S5 was released before the iPhone 6. But it looks like I am wrong since the phones shown aren't Samsung's. Sorry for the confusion.
Actually if you think about it, Nokia going into android might be a huge leap to bring the forward, if they can crack the right android tablet they may still have a small future.
Now if they went with Android on phones they could even have competed better than samsung. CNET's "Adventure's In Tech" has a nice video about Nokia if they chose Android.

Sorry i thought tablets would fall under that but i guess not.
Yes cause Apple invented aluminum fillet edges and flat rectangular aluminum buttons.
iPhone 6 design is Apple complying with the market and doing what everybody else is doing. Nothing revolutionary design wise here.
Google Nokia Lumia phones and you will see both fillet aluminum edges and flat aluminum rectangular buttons that inspired iPhone 6.
I thought it looked like the iPhone 6, but the really copied the Lumia 820 and made it bigger.
I would so get a Red Nokia N1

This is just such a shame. From a great, innovative company to being a copycat unable to compete in the market place. Still remember the day when Nokia phones used to rule the world
