CNETAnalysis: Apple has reportedly shelled out a whopping £13 million (USD$21, AUD$20) to license the clock design for iOS 6 . The clock was designed by an employee of the Swiss Federal Railway service in 1944 and has been used in train stations around the country ever since. Following the launch of iOS in September, the network complained that Apple had used the identical design, once honoured by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, without permission. “We’re rather proud that a brand as important as Apple is using our design,” said a spokesperson for the service back in September.
