I don't know about that. The iPhone revolutionised the mobile phone market in two ways:
1. It 'woke up' existing mobile phone makers and inspired them to think differently about phone user interfaces.
2. The app store concept changed the way mobile phone applications are sold. How many new 'app stores' have been announced by other mobile phone manufacturers since Apple came out with theirs?
If nothing else, Apple is good at coming into an existing market and shaking up the status quo.
