I love apple, they make great stuff and the eco system is a vision so well crafted it dominates anything else ever developed in that field... I had a MBP as my main machine on the road for some years even, don't make it sound like someone with another POV is simply discarding or "rewriting history". Apple copied a lot from several sources to make the original iphone, don't make it sound like they didn't because you prefer and love the brand. I get it, it's a good phone, it isn't a free pass to obliterate every other contribution to what made it great.
" It was -- literally -- like nothing that had ever come before it. It was -- literally -- like no other Android phone at the time"
No, it wasn't, it was progression on the work of many others and prior art that was discounted by the jury on the apple vs samsung case, is -- literally -- proof of that. Stay well. :)
