Steve seems more of an amazing businessman and salesman, with exceptional taste, than inventor/innovator. Apple's considerable achievements come largely from taking the inventions of others and making them attractive to the marketplace.
- alexwolfe 15y agoTaking inventions from others and making them attractive to the marketplace is innovation. :) Henry Ford did not invent the car but he was the best innovator if it. However, it is no exaggeration to say Apple reinvented many products time and time again.
