Right, because the iphone was totally original and did not rely on any previous inventions. Some people here are blind and do not see that the iphone, like any other contemporary smartphone, exists only thanks to devices that came years earlier, and thanks to the inventions of people in varied fields and companies. Whoever says that the iphone was all new and magical and that everybody else after the iphone has simply copied is living in a parallel universe or has been seriously affected by the reality distortion field.
Apple are good at taking what's there and improving it, but they are equally good at PR and having people believe there was nothing prior to them, and apparently that PR is working wonders judging by what people say on this and other forums.
