And you’re thinking that because that’s how the mainstream media reported this situation.

You’re thinking that Microsoft agreed to not copy Apple, not the other way around. More specifically, by not copying the design of Windows Phone, which feature large, finger-friendly (and more expressive) live tiles, Apple has instead been forced to compromise on the design of the iPod nano. It’s because Apple promised not to copy Microsoft’s products. But I have a (humorous) theory about why the iPod nano is so horrible. Even Apple’s most fanatical followers are sheepishly admitting that the UI of the firm’s latest iPod nano is laughably terrible, with bizarre, round icons that bear no resemblance at all to Apple’s normally beautiful products.
