And nobody bought them. Which part of "market-creating" was unclear?
The iPhone was the last true innovation and that was a heck of a lot longer than 5 years.
If your argument is that Apple is domed because it hasn't had a market-creating innovation, the kind that 99.99% of companies never have in their entire history, in NINE years, that doesn't make the argument a lot stronger.
I have consistent in noting that all Apple does it take stuff and clean it up some.
If you're going to be that reductionist about it, that's all Thomas Edison or Henry Ford did. Apple isn't competing against some imaginary company that has introduced antigravity, faster-than-light travel, cold fusion, and cures for all known disease in the last few years. It's competing against other companies that are also just "cleaning it up some."
So tell me, what earth-shattering breakthrough have other companies had that Apple should have? A display that wraps around the edge of the phone? Waterproofing? MicroSD slots?
