For example, checkout the youtube icon in ipad:

Look very similar to something else? ;)

One can go on picking out others too, but it is not difficult to realize
where the "inspiration" is from.

It is amusing how some people hate Apple products and say "dont copy
Apple", but the same people like Apple designs when they dont realize it
is from Apple. [ just happened to reply this here, not referring to
Saleel or anyone in particular, just a general observation ;) ]
