    • iOS Screenshots

    These are photographs or screenshots with visible iOS elements, and therefore they are copyrighted. In the case of photographs, we can maintain them if the screen is blurred or deleted. --House (talk) 04:14, 22 April 2012 (UTC) Which elements of this image are so much copyrighted that we have to delete it? I take a look on some of the photos and I wonder why we should delete them. F.e. the image next to this text includes a WiFi symbol, a battery symbol, a symbol of a frying pan, a browser's url field and a 270° arrow. Nothing of it is very original. I fail to see why this image should be deleted. --32X (talk) 11:11, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

    It doesn't matter if it's "very original" (simple, I think you meant) or not, those symbols are copyrighted icons used in iOS. It's the same story with browsers, as an example. House (talk) 22:58, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
    • Delete' all of them. The device display is the main focus of all the images and they all contain copyright material. Classic "fair use" material that can't be hosted here. QU TalkQu 14:09, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
    •  Keep - displays are not copyrighted; I see no infringements in File:Wikipedia-m-mobil.jpg. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 18:55, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
      • A display with iOS UI Elements is copyrighted, please explain why you think that there's not copyright infringments, as I already said, it doesn't matter if the symbols are that simple. --House (talk) 15:16, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
