Nope.
There is a lot of this: Quote:
Say they did. Or say they didn't. Or say its likely they did or say it is likely they didn't. But please do not make vague assertions and then get angry when clarification requested. I say it is very likely that there is new, Apple conceived and worthy of patent stuff there. Do you agree or disagree? |

Ok. I understand your position now. Its ok. Thank you.
(that you don't think anything there is new (that everything is a copy) and would need someone to point out to you where and what new and novel stuff is). Last edited by ScotiaBurrell; 08-27-2012 at 12:17 PM. |

But some here are saying that iPhone and pad are only a shined up copy of past gadgets. I ask if anything at all in it is new, and they won't answer, not even to say 'probably' or 'probably not'. |

For the most part, all aspects of the iPhone are improvements on prior stuff. Tablets existed before hand in one form or another (I have a tablet made in '04, and PDAs and such going back to '96). Even having a touch screen general purpose computing device in a phone form factor with phone capabilities isn't new. However, what the iphone largely has done, is push things farther than they'd been done before.
For instance, I cannot think of a wireless device that synced with the cloud automatically, and had built in support for that. Most required effort on the user's part in order to even set up backup, and usually they had to manually initiate it each time. Part of that, was due to the expense of data before the iPhone came along. Apple mostly lucked out with being able to do that. |

How about the status bar on the newer iOS versions? Oh wait. That was "borrowed" from Android. Of course, Apple will likely try to sue Samsung, claiming that Samsung stole it from them.
An the other hand, people now know that the Samsung phones are the same as iPhones, for half the price. Way to go, Apple. |

The only thing I think Apple did actually make from scratch is the phones case and even then it's pretty generic when the iPhone launched it wasn't able to compete with the features of other phones like the n95 so superphone it wasn't, I think Apples always been behind on the actual technology aspect. Apple is also a company that stole the even the names of products iPhone belonged to another company they used it anyway same with iPad even the name Apple was stolen from a music company. From what I've seen Apple really just takes everyone else's ideas claims them as it's own, ignores everyone else's patents/copyrights and even treats it's own customers as idiots. How they get away with this I'll never understand I guess it's probably due to all their paid blogging, sponsored sites, product placements and general marketing none of which works on me.
