Has Apple Really Ever Invented Anything?

-----------------------------

Apple has been creating chaos in the courts lately, but did they actually ever invent anything? This video explains that Apple is a recipe company, not an invention company. This does not mean that they do not innovate, it simply means that they are responsible for less than you think.

In this we cover the following:

Firewire, Newton, os9, osx, ios, ipad, ipod, ipod dock, 30 pin, mini display port, firewire, newton, pda, gridpad, magic mouse, dogcow, Apple II e card, Apple TV, mp3 players, tablets, etc.

Apple did indeed invent something... they invented the overpriced computer that does half the things a pc is capable of doing.

Did Apple ever claim to have invented anything? They design their own products based on existing tech and they do it better than most people who do it.

Innovation does not mean invention. It means direction and perfection in the right areas for the right markets.

The term "invention" is too often mis-used.

They invented a $250 phone for $800. Does that count?

Apple is like that kid on the playground who thought he owned the slide and would beat up anyone else who came near it.

[jujuria]

apple is a marketing company disguised as a technology company

Guys have you heard the new iMyAss iMac Pro Overpriced++ edition? I heard it's gonna be more powerful than a Chromebook for only $37, 000!

Apple,
Stop overpricing your products.

Apple invented Stupid prices for their Mac computers.

Apple invented bullshit. Can I get my mouse now?

I never ever heard apple saying that they 'invented' something. They just use the term 'innovate'. Without apple, we would not have the types of smartphones we have nowadays. Our phones would have probably had a shitty touchscreen needing a stylus if Steve jobs did not implement the idea of putting a better touchscreen on phones. We would not have had portable computers as we know them now. Our tablets would still have been as bad as that Microsoft tablet invented way before the iPad if apple did not exist. Fingerprint technology would not have been implemented on our smartphones so soon either... Oh, Steve Jobs is the one who created colour video games and be thankful to apple, because without this company, we should have understood codes to be able to use a computer... They reinvented the computer operating system.

I don't understand why bash apple. Samsung makes depressing commercials talking constant shit about apple customers. They actually speak down upon apple customers. Apple is lightyears more professional than Samsung. I'm an apple fan, but I swear no elegance to a company. But with Samsung's 30 second attempts to talk smack about apple fans and their products, it's fairly difficult not to cling the company.

You could stick the apple logo on a brick and people would stand hours on end in the cold for it.

I wouldn't even call Apple a recipe company, since often times they're not even recombining ingredients. With a lot of their products, they just take someone else's obscure/struggling product, improve the aesthetics, give it a massive marketing budget, and bam, they sell millions of them.

[devourerofnuggets]

There's one awesome thing Apple invented:
Steal other companys product, slam the apple logo on it and raise the price by 300%.

When you buy an apple, you're buying a name. That's it. The prestige of the name, that's what your $2000 dollars for your mac is going towards: the name.

[liottj]

using this logic, nobody has ever invented anything...

[pspppe]

so basically they take stuff other people made, change 1 thing and put their name on it... LEGIT PLAGIARISM (would get a 0 in university, but they get money for that in life??)

[JurianWebbe]

All those fanboys mad at this video. You know he wants to say he isn't an apple hater. I like the comments who use apple and understand they're not the best company. There isn't a best. I hope you guys understand that. Thanks.

It's all branding. Just like people buying expensive white t-shirts or expensive food

[tuneslover]

This is not about being first, this is about making the great products. So your argument is useless.

If apple made a car... Would it have Windows???
