The last truly innovative, helpful thing Apple has contributed to the planet that wouldn't have been contributed by someone else sooner or later without them was the original iPhone in 2007.
There were other touch phones on the way, apple just beat them to the punch. To their credit they also had a far superior OS at the time.

What other touch-sensitive phones were on the way that the user interacted with in similar ways to the iPhone? Not trying to disprove you or anything; I'm legitimately curious.

Apple was only first to market. Samsung showed off a smartphone prototype a year before Apple went to market.

can you not see the post directly above you?
or do you not count a phone+pda combo running windows pocketpc phone edition a smartphone?
if not, what DO you count as a smart phone?
Siri.
Check & mate.

I dont get it. that's an apple designer talking about a phone he designed via a request from Jon Ive to make it look 'Sony styled'. This isn't a Sony prototype lmao, this is Apples own design
"Apple industrial designer Shin Nishibori was directed to prepare a “Sony-like” design for an Apple phone"

That's fair. There were ways to control your computer with your voice long before Siri, but they were terrible and didn't respond to you the way Siri does. They weren't conversational at all and you had to memorize weird, clunky commands.
