Apple's latest iOS 6 operating system finally gave iFans a native clock app, and most new users found the app to be "beautiful" or "gorgeous."
Fans were not the only ones to notice the style of the new app, however, with the Swiss Federal Railway Service (SBB) now accusing the company of stealing the design.
Apple's design is "identical" to their own, which was created in 1944 and trademarked, says a spokesperson, and they have a point (see below).
"We are proud that this icon of clock design is being used by a globally successful company. We've approached Apple and told them that the rights for this clock belong to us," said the spokesperson.
SBB is looking for an "amicable agreement," likely meaning licensing and royalties into the future.
