- paxys 4y agoEvery iPhone released in the last 15 years has been an incremental upgrade on the first one. And in turn every other smartphone has been a copy of the equivalent iPhone. No one is drawing inspiration from the top of the line Nokia or Blackberry from 2008. That entire segment is dead.
- thomasahle 4y agoiPhone obviously copied lots of features from Android [1], but the even back at the original iPhone they copied features the old Nokia or Blackberry segment. Not just talking about email or calendars, but things like iPhone 2 copying the idea of an app store. Sure the iPhone introduced lots of cool new stuff. But some people on hacker news seem to think it happened in a vacuum and nobody else had ideas that mattered.
