You, and The Verge, miss the point so very hard.
All of this would be relevant if someone was trying to argue iPhone is a copy of F700 or vice versa.
But nobody says that. Well, besides Apple, who presented it as evidence Samsung copied their yet unpopular phone in measly one month (or four months, depending of if you take presentation dates or release dates). Them korean bastards!
Didn't you read that? F700 was presented by Apple on one of the slides, and Samsung tried to enter prototypes of 2006 to show that was not a copy of Apple's design.
Samsung presents F700 as supporting the idea that Samsung didn't have to copy Apple to come to this design.
Show F700 and Galaxy S to someone who doesn't know about iPhone (however unlikely that is to find such a person) and ask them if they are a part of same lineage or line breaks between them at some point for some reason.
