Nah, Apple was never an innovator in my eyes ...

It was always their solid support and software ecosystem that kept them afloat when it came smartphones ...

In fact they spend very little on R&D relative to their size when it comes to being one of the leading technology companies ...

 

Before iPod, MP3 was niche and CD was king. After? MP3 king and CD dead. Before iPhone, flip phone was king. After iPhone, smart phones were king and flip phones dead. Before iPad, PC was king. Afer iPad, tablets were king and PC is dying.

You may not think they were innovative, but that is the definition of innovative. They changed the world.

No question they changed the world. This is Pope's inaguration photo, 2005 vs 2013:

You can see one person with a flip phone to the far right of the 2005 photo and that's it, lol.
