Steve Jobs didn't innovate a thing in his life. Apple has always been stealing tech and pretending that they created it.
Now with this new version, they don't even have much anything to steal. At best, they pretended that the EU didn't force them to adopt USB 3 and boast how much faster it is than Lightning port.
Apple was literally founded and initially successful off Steve jobs monetizing Woz's genius. It is not at all a stretch to claim Steve Jobs never innovated a thing.
In modern apple, of course they are far more likely to buy innovative technologies and fund development or copy competitors. Why would they spend money funding R&D when they can more cheaply buy out worthwhile concepts?
