Yeah....Android apps scale...just look at the sh1tty facebook app on a 10" android tablet to see how wonderful "scaling an app designed for a phone" looks on a tablet.
I agree that Samsung copies and innovates. All companies do...but few copy as brazenly as Samsung. They don't just copy, they clone.
Phablets are today's netbooks. Lots of people loved netbooks, lots of companies made netbooks. Lots of people wondered when Apple would make a netbook. Apple never did. Now almost nobody does.
Given that Apple makes a terrific phone at it's current size...with industry leading performance WHILE still being small...it's not credible to think Apple can't make a larger phone with larger battery and screen. That's EASIER to do. Yes, it's "innovation". Samsung and other solved the "how to we put a power hungry LTE chip in a phone without having terrible battery life" by making a larger phone. That counts as innovation.
Apple decided to NOT make an LTE phone until the chips had decent low power abilities.
Sometimes the best innovations are when to say "no".
And customers will choose what meets their desires and needs.
Can Apple make services as good as Google? Not yet. I think that definitely falls into the category of "can't" (witness Apple maps).
Can Apple make a netbook? Yes. Can Apple make a large screen phone? Yes. That Apple doesn't is a choice, not an inability.
