Aside from the keyboard (which is significant IMO), this phone differs from the iphone in that:

* this phone has curved (not flat) ends

* four HW buttons on the front (rather than one)

* it's black with a black border (has any iphone had that? Usually the iphone border is in a contrasting color)

* has a big "samsung" on the front

It's pretty distinct, hardware-design wise.

From what I've read so far, the very existence of a full display and a bezel surrounding the front of the phone may have been sufficient in this case for damages.

That's obviously crazy, but that appears to have been criteria used.

I'm reminded of an old joke: "In Soviet Russia reasonable and appropriate considerations are made before awarding 1B in damages based on vaguely similar designs".
