Apple is almost never early to a market, so why call it out specifically that “business as usual on timing”. We can debate if they are successful or not (I waffle myself), but they’ve not prided on being first, but rather being better.
- strictnein 9y agoYou must have missed a decade+ of Apple talking about how everyone copies them? Example: https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/photocopy.jpg https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/photo...
- jsjohnst 9y agoPeople do copy Apple, but that doesn’t mean Apple was first. The (misguided I feel) argument by Apple wasn’t that someone copied the concept of what they did (which again, they usually weren’t first to anyway), but rather copied their implementation which made them better over whoever was first. Also, Steve Jobs even has a famous quote that’s relevant [0], “good artists copy, great artists steal”. [0] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CW0DUg63lqU https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CW0DUg63lqU
