All I will say again is:
Motherboards, PC cases, hard drives, disk drives, monitors, TV's, cars, car interiors, car exteriors, car engines, speakers, video game software, game consoles, appliances, beds, couches, furniture, building materials, windows, lamps, ect, ect have ALL been innovated upon to great lengths. I would argue ALOT more so than what Apple did with the smartphone. ....How come there arent all these lawsuits in other markets? Why does Apple seem so sue happy compared to other companies in other markets? Nothing slowed down by companies not suing in other markets. Great strides were made in many, many, many markets with no lawsuits.
There have been a sprinkle of lawsuits in other markets....but no where to the lengths of what Apple has done/is doing. Thats the point some seem to overlook. Great innovation happens in many, many other areas....where some things can be seen as copies of something that came before it.....without all the lawsuits.
