Offtopic: a grid of square icons, fancy animations and double touch is a lot easier than copying Waymo

You just described Palm, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile...all of which Apple was copying. The iPhone was evolutionary, but not revolutionary by any means.

Back on topic: It's more about letting the first mover spend the money on figuring out the business plan. The second mover can then jump in with a more efficient business model based on the lessons learned from the first mover.



Only as evolutionary as adding autonomous driving to a car with cruise control.


The revolution was that it was the first finger operated computer.


You mean all this time people have been pressing keys with their noses?
