Wireless earbuds and smart watches already existed before Apple entered those categories. Good products, but they were not the innovators or at least first to market. I guess I'll give you 3d facial recognition but 2d facial recognition already existed. Apple is more of a company that takes other companies innovations and usually improves on them and markets them very well.
The fold clearly works it's just easy to break and isn't very refined. I think that should have been expected and would say it was released too early clearly wasn't ready for the masses. Probably should be sold as a prototype or beta device.
Wireless headphones and smart watches were both categories before apple launched either the Apple Watch or airpods. But let’s be honest apple came in and redefined both categories and thats what innovation is.
Your thinking about invention, it’s not the same as innovation. Common misconception.
There still aren’t any wireless headphones that work as well as the AirPods. And the Apple Watch, don’t think there are any competitors that allow to you leave your phone at home and continue to make and receive calls, messages, and stream music from their smart watch, when paired with airpods. That’s innovation.
Apples 3d Face ID system can’t be compared to a single camera, that’s not very accurate.
You do realize taking what someone else started with and making it better isn’t as easy as you make it out to be. Google buying Motorola is one example.
You can’t give Samsung a handicap for releasing a prototype device as a Flagship.
It will damage the brand. Not for fans that appreciate Samsung failed attempt, but by affluent consumers who actually end up buying the device and then swear off Samsung and the galaxy line of phones because of it.
Apple and Huawei might gain more than a few customers because of it.
