So the dispute is partly over the similarity of aspect ratio? Now we're patenting ratios? Most TVs are the same aspect ratio. In the old days the were all virtually the same aspect ratio. These days videos can be different aspect ratios shown within the same TV. All the TVs look about the same ratio, I suppose because of whatever the largest ratio is. On a computer, phone or tablet it's the other way around, the device (partly) determines the aspect ratio of the displayed object. So now each device has to pre-select a different aspect ratio for displayed objects? What's the minimum allowed difference?

So the dispute is partly over the similarity of aspect ratio? No. The accusation is that Apple's image makes it look like it has the same aspect ratio, and that that falsely makes them look more similar. But the actual text of Apple's complaint does not say anything to the effect that the proportions are one of the distinctive features they think were copied.
