They didn't invent the smart phone, they made it accessible.
They didn't invent the tablet, they made it popular.
They didn't invent the laptop, they made it a status symbol.
They didn't invent mobile apps, they made them ubiquitous.
They don't invent much, but they improve it through industry-leading design (usually) and market it and willingly lock you into it.
- thebruce87m 2y agoI don’t think I’ve ever seen them claim to invent any of those things. I’ve only ever seen other people claim they do. > They don't invent much They probably invent at the same rate as others investing in R&D. > and willingly lock you into it. They vertically integrate. Their customers obviously like this and aren’t bothered that it isn’t open. It’s not a bad thing, unless you consider the behaviour bad from all companies.
