Post steve wozniak and hardware not software

It's not a fair question. Everything in hardware is incremental upgrades now. You can see consumer hardware technology coming down the line 3 years in advance so surprises don't happen (IMO - if you're surprised it's because you weren't keeping track).

Software innovation is where there is still room for surprise IMO.

But apart from taking ideas and improving on them , what have they actually invented in house .

There are numerous articles on the internet about this.

The short version is very little in terms of Einstein or AGB. In terms of releasing products that become the defacto standard against which other similar products are measured against? Quite a lot.

If you're interested, I can see where this thread is going and am not personally interested in rehashing a very well defined argument. It is on the web. https://www.google.com/search?q=what+has+apple+invented&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

In fact this video answers your question so aptly, even the post-wozniak caveat, I'm surprised you even tried to raise this question here, unless you were just looking to stir the pot.

PS The guy in the video gets all his credibility from that copy of Dune in the corner.

This is such a weird question. What exactly would qualify? What has Microsoft invented recently? Samsung? Nikon?

I agree, this forum isn't really the place for such a thread and I can't see this discussion ending well.. Closed
