INNOVATE not INVENT
wireless charging? i mean magnets in qi2 are apple's idea, also i wonder how current smartphone market would look like without iPhone, would we still have stylus operated resistive screens? i know they weren't the first ones with capacitive touchscreens and finger oriented UI, but whey popularized it, definitely made it mainstream
Nah, Samsung had wireless charging in 2015 with the Galaxy S6, Apple started wireless charging with the iPhone 8 in 2017.
And wireless charging has been around long before that. Even those rechargeable toothbrushes have used it long before smartphones were a thing.
And Microsoft released the Surface Pro with a stylus before any iPad had them and I'm sure you could go much further back for other devices that had them before that.
also windows phones had wireless charging as far back as 2012 with the lumia 920 iirc
