what 'evidence' is this?

the defined existence of competing products with the same feature set

iphone and ipad were market-defining products, the iwatch is not

i have the near entirety of apple's product lineup, from a retinal 27" imac, several airbooks, time capsule and a couple airport expresses, 2 apple tvs, 2 ipads, iphone 6...

when you find something that works well you generally stick to it

however the watch isn't even comparable because it's a different class of item, it's a watch. figure out what a watch is worn for for 3 seconds then report back thanks

this is objectively incorrect

watch the release of the original iphone, steve calls out by name products that would be its closest competitors feature-wise and iphone is completely differentiated

the ceo of blackberry, the undisputed leader in email-capable phones at the time, thought that the iphone was 100% fake, that's how different it was

there is not a single thing that the iphone or ipad did that could not be done already on alternative products

apple's success is the way they offer these features

oh then i guess i'm ignorant of all of the other 3.5" capacitive touch-screen devices with full web browsing capability and music playback functionality, utilizing a fully touch-based interface without an integrated input device that were available at the time, could you give an example?

even if i could give one youd decide an apple logo on the back was a 'feature' just to attempt to prove the lovely point you lost about 10 posts back

the iphone did nothing that other devices couldnt already do: it just did them better, and packaged them in such a way that people wanted to own the product
