By "Daddy" you are referring to Xerox as it developed GUI and mouse first?
Well, you asked for it with that old chestnut.
Nokia and Blackberry came up with many "firsts" in mobile phones, and what happened?
They were surpassed by someone who developed a better interface for the masses.
Not to mention a better "ecosystem," which is a continuation of the idea behind the better interface–usability, thinking about the user.
Wake us up when you see another company doing that. It doesn't matter who invents a piece of the technology as much as who develops it for the masses. Apple was preceded by Ford, Volkswagen, Sony and a few others.
There may or may not be display issues but... I believe Apple staggered the release of the iPad Air/Retina Mini because the mini cannibalized the iPad and Apple wanted the masses to assimilate the improvements with the Air before releasing the Retina mini in order to level the playing field between its two iPad SKUs.
I thought of exact idea at the Apple iPad Announcement; when the date was given as late November.
They are shipping them. Our local Future Shop here in London, ON Canada almost sold me two. I got them to the cash to pay and the computer refused to sell them saying they were on embargo until November 30. I wish I had of snapped a picture and yes I am 100% sure they were the iPad Mini Retinas and not just the regular mini

November 30! Interesting. Are Canada and the US usually in sync on releases lately?

I would think that the 30th is just a placeholder until they get an actual release date from Apple. I am guessing the 29th unless that is your Thanksgiving!
And Samsung innovated what exactly? Oh yeah, they made the screen larger. Wow. Good job.
That’s not even innovation. They made screens larger because they were too stupid to figure out how to make components small enough to build a phone with the same tech that was the size of the iPhone. That’s anti-innovation.
Samsung is being applauded for doing the equivalent of making a larger, slower ENIAC in 1950.
Reference the double class action lawsuits, two years in a row against Apple for shipping truckloads of iMacs and Macbooks with defective screens and GPUs. The screens were either D.O.A., piss-yellow, skewed, or the GPUs failed. Apple fought tooth and nail to keep from honoring their warranties, enraging legions of Apple customers. The worst part is that these incidents happened in bulk around the Christmas seasons, which made things a whole lot worse. Apple has a rather notorious history when it comes to defective displays.
Oh puhleeze. There's a class action suit against Apple every time Tim Cook farts for gawd's sake. If you think class action lawsuits, or lawsuits in general, have any basis in reality, then you're way too easily deceived.

IF you cant understand the difference between the Xerox GUI concept and how much R&D was involved into making this a working OS you need to go back to youre android geek fandoid sites imo. Fact is Apple did 95% of the work and fact is Microsoft and IBM clone the crap out of it.
On the Apple market disruption of the MP3 player, smartphone and tablet. Yes, you F idiot, we know those existed before. But did you look at what the devices look like before Apple revamp them and how , again, the freaking world clone the crap out of there R&D.
Ps, sorry if I am cranky this morning but I work in IT on the mainframe, it is my turn on the pager this week and I spent the half the night fixing bugs because of bunch of geeks that thinks they are so smart cant test there shit properly before putting it up in the production environnent. Now if you excuse me a have to go yell at some people in a meeting.
How interesting, seeing as how Apple LOST the lawsuit against Xerox for this very same issue in the mid-90s. It was tossed out of court. You need to study history a bit more.

Right, because tens of thousands of customers who Apple refused to honor warranties for were just a figment of their imaginations, right? I suggest you get checked out to see if there's a history of rampant and early onset of delusion in your family tree.
Nice anecdote. My 4S runs great and has no imperfections.
As for lawsuits, that doesn't mean anything. Lawyers can make cases with little evidence or truth.
So because it hasn't affected you, you'll dismiss it as false, despite a tidal wave of users who have had the same problem as my wife? You'll ignore articles by CNET, Tomshardware, Engadget, and others as....what? Bias? Class-action lawsuits aren't based on "little evidence or truth,". That's the antithesis of a class action lawsuit.
Truckloads? Legions? Amazing then that Apple sells anything at all? I suppose you'd just chalk it up to fanbois buying the Apple hype machine.
I think you're missing the point completely, which is ironic, given Apple's litigious history. And yes, I DO chalk it up to fanbois buying the Apple hype machine. What other group of people can you think of (besides Honda owners) who believe that their company of choice is practically flawless, and creates products that last forever? That's hype, my friend....and completely misplaced hype at that. Apple products break down with the E-X-A-C-T same frequency and ratio as...yep...you guessed it EVERYBODY ELSE.
Yeah, those Samsung display panels are a real let down. /s
Uh huh. Samsung didn't provide the display panels for the iPhone 4S. Apple was using OLED, while Samsung was offering AMOLED for their own devices. Samsung even publicly bashed the iPhone 4 display.

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

Xerox lost to Apple and Apple lost to Microsoft.
