Apple waits till a company does something then copies it. Even their Window system features have been copied from Linux. Their hardware is overpriced and you are essentially just paying for an Apple logo and aesthetic pushed by a marketing company. It is like the Nike of computers.

Crucially, Apple usually copies it better. They drive niche or poorly implemented technologies and make them mainstream.

    Such as? What about all those Window managers that copied from NeXTSTEP?

What?!? Modern Apple platforms are an evolution from NeXTSTEP.

NeXTStep (September 18, 1989) predates Linux (September 17, 1991)and it's window managers. I'd suggest you also look at Apple's work on ARM processors. They were first to 64 bit in that space.

  Apple was one the companies that created ARM as well. ”The company was founded in November 1990 as Advanced RISC Machines Ltd and structured as a joint venture between Acorn Computers, Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) and VLSI Technology.”
