And also why people are mad at Apple for taking down Samsung over patents… The iPhone seems so obvious now, how can one company own the concept? Well, if you consider what phones looked like pre-iPhone, Apple did have a pretty major impact. Either way, what used to seem like magic now seems obvious…
