    Please note that I am NOT accusing Apple of copying the BlackBerry PlayBook.
    However, when I saw the below image, I immediately thought of the boot-up & default background of the PlayBook.
    What do you guys think?

    To me it kind of looks like a live background on Android called phase beam or something like that.

    Yes, the background looks like the bubbles/circles from the PlayBook and the unlock screen itself looks like that of the Z10

    It is not swipe up. It is still slide to unlock. The wallpaper makes it look like there is a swipe up feature.

    By the way, to draw the conclusion that the wallpaper looks similar to Blackberry, Apple must be copying is a little far-fetched. At this point, each OS is borrowing/stealing from the others.

    Did you not see what I posted in BOLD & RED I'm NOT accusing Apple of copying the PlayBook. I'm just saying that that background really reminds me of the PB & was wondering if anyone else thought that too. Do I think they got "inspiration" from BB & windows ect. Yes I do, but that's not what we are talking about here, this thread is just about iOS7 & the PB
