  Why? I used the example quasi-humorously but I meant it seriously. The iPhone has given rise to all sorts of ubiquitous technologies and applications -- so ubiquitous we don't notice them. Accelerometers weren't invented by Apple, but their pervasive use in high volume has driven the price down which has given rise to all sorts of other applications, many with the phone as bed. Security is much better than it would be if only banks and the military cared. Etc
