The Prada was the first smartphone with a capacitive touchscreen, thus not requiring the use of a stylus.[6] Its black minimalist look, designed by Kang-Heui Cha,[7] was an evolution of LG's popular Chocolate.[8][9]
The LG Prada was announced shortly before Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the iPhone on 9 January 2007.[10][11][12] After the release of the iPhone the head of the LG Mobile Handset R&D Center was quoted saying he believed Apple had stolen the idea from the Prada after it was announced as part of the iF Design Award, where it won a prize in September 2006.[13][14] This claim would be disproven in Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co. series of lawsuits, where Apple prototypes created years before LG released the Prada were shown.
