Apple's strongest force is marketing. It's their absolutely greatest ability. This video says it best: "Apple is a recipe company, not an innovator".

And second best: "It’s not invented until Apple does it"

So, Apple doesn't have to innovate. They just have to copy a good idea and market the shit out of it claiming they were the first, and Apple lickers will gobble it up at whatever ridiculous price is dictated to be "premium".
