If you want some REAL evidence that Nintendo looks at Apple for inspiration, consider these things:
1) The first iMac had a handle to carry it around. The Gamecube, released later, also had a handle.
2) The DS Lite and Wii clearly took some design cues from Apple. There is even a Dual Screen logo on the DS Lite, just like the famous Apple on Apple products.
3) The current Macbook Pro's lower surface is just one aluminum plate. There is no additional battery slot like on most notebooks. If you want to change the battery you have to take off the whole plate. And Nintendo did the same with the 3DS. They even praised it in an Iwata asks interview.
See, IGN? I can do that as well
