Apple rarely invents anything. That's not their claim to fame. Apple perfects existing technology and implements it in a way that makes a difference in people's daily lives. Apple invented neither the "PC" nor the graphical user interface but they combined both to create the world's first personal computer that didn't require learning a vocabulary of arcane text commands to operate. Apple didn't invent music players nor MP3 compression. But they were the first to create a pocket sized digital music player that could hold a thousand songs with a user interface that was a pleasure to use. Apple didn't invent smartphones or touch screens but they were the first to combine the two in a way that revolutionized what people could do on their pocket sized devices. The entire cell phone industry copied the first iPhone. "It appears that neither Google, nor Samsung, Microsoft and Apple can call themselves the inventors of the smartwatch product category."
