lol, you are funny.

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

Apple spent an estimated $6 billion in R&D in 2015. That's in no way little, so nothing to deny here. Comparing them to other tech companies that spends more doesn't make 6 billion dollars "very little". 

"Apple was never an innovator in my eyes"

The rest of the world objectively disagrees. You have a very narrow minded point of view on innovation. 

Remember in my first post to this very thread I said "relative to size" ... 

All that cash yet the sum of their component manufacturer's dwarfs them when it comes to R&D spending ... 

It matters not what the world thinks just like how science isn't determined by a consensus ... 

Apple did not invent smartphones or tablets, period ... 

I must admit though that their very good at streamlining things and capitalizing on other corporations strengths ...
