The first iPhone was launched January 9, 2007, a full year after the LG Prada
Nope. From the very same Wikipedia you linked (emphasis mine): "[The LG Prada] was first announced on December 12, 2006. An official press release showing an image of the device appeared on January 18, 2007. Sales started in May 2007." Sales of iPhone began in June, 2007.

Um, your link itself explains that Apple sued Samsung first...
Um, my link itself explains that Apple sued Samsung first in the United States, but that Samsung sued Apple first in Japan and Germany. This article is about the lawsuit that Samsung brought against Apple in Germany.
