That's a big part of the reason the iPhone has become so successful — the first release had half the features of other smartphones, but it worked well.
Apple has been slowly adding functionality — third-party applications, video recording, MMS, copy and paste — at a pace that lets the engineers get it all right.

Don’t reinvent any of these wheels. Focus on what’s left – what hasn’t been done." If you take what's been written literally, what did iPhone do in their first release that hasn't been done already? IMO Apple's greatest addition is their app store. And it came later in the cycle.
