Component manufacturer's like Samsung? who makes TVs, fridges, washing machines, smartphones, laptops etc? Please... It's no secret that Apple is a laser focused company, one of Steve's motto. Do people want them to spend just because it's cool to spend on RD?

Implementing technologies in a compelling way in a real product that people want to buy and that isn't just a cool tech demo has been Apple's bread and butter, and it was Steve's main strength.

Apple DID invent the smartphones in their current extremely popular shape and form. In my eyes that's innovation.

It's not just Samsung that's helping out Apple ... 

Apple practically has the ENTIRE semicnductor industry and others footing the bill for them ...
