>>I do like apple products but really what innovation did they kill?

All kind of products that would've competed with Apple bundled apps, or could've been seen as illegal in some state, or had some erotic content ...

>>Do you know how unthinkable an app store model was 5 years ago?

Microsoft had a store 5 years ago. What does it have to do with Apple closing their platforms, to make higher profits, while stopping a lot of innovation?

>>Sure there are innovative things happening on android but would it even exist without iPhone?

Symbian, Windows CE and many more existed before the iPhone. As the price of hardware falls and mobile devices become more powerful/useful more and more users are getting smartphones. Android would've made perfect sense, w/o iPhone.
