Sure there is some truth to this statement but far from being an overwhelming truth.
- Apple stole from Xerox Park the original GUI interface idea.
- Iphone is a copy of the smartphone concept MS and others worked on before Apple
- The iPod is just a hard drive and speaker at its basic level
- The Mac OS is a Unix clone.
- The ipad came from the early work of MS and others.
Apple's genius is marketing, fit and finish of products and licensing agreements with other industries to create a ecosystem.
