Multitouch touch screens already existed. Shrinking technology, fine - but neither did Apple invent the technology to shrink existing multitouch down.
And for computers, much of that was derivative of the MoaD.
What have they invented?
- latexr 1y agoComparing a screen to a whole smartphone and a concept demo to full mass marketed successful products is quite disingenuous. You can do better. Either we argue in good faith or the conversation isn’t worth having. The original point, and what Apple is known for, is precisely that they often don’t invent all the parts but put them together in a way that makes sense for and the general public wants to buy. Which also allows competitors to rise. Nitpicking every single component will always lead to “none of them invented transistors, or electricity”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9huNI5sBd8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9huNI5sBd8 Denying Apple’s influence to certain classes of products is like denying Google’s influence to the internet, or Microsoft’s influence to offices. It’s nonsensical. I am not interested in flame wars or arguing with others about their biases for or against specific trillion dollar corporations.
