Why does everyone copy Apple?
When Apple made the iMac without a floppy drive, PC makers started to sell their computers without floppy drives.
When Apple made an all-in-one computer, PC makers started to make their own all-in-one computers.
When Apple launched their iPod MP3 player, companies like Microsoft launched their own iPod-like MP3 players (e.g. Zune).
When Apple launched their all-touchscreen iPhone, other companies launched their own all-touchscreen Android phones.
When Apple launched their Apple Store, Google launched their Play Store.
When Apple launched their Macbook Air, PC makers responded with their own clones called 'ultrabooks'.
When Apple launched their iPad, manufacturers launched their own iPad clones - thus creating the tablet market.
When Apple launched Siri, other companies like Amazon and Microsoft launched their own voice assistants like Alexa and Cortana.
When Apple decided to make a smartwatch, other companies like Samsung and Sony also made their own smartwatches.
And now...
After Apple put a notch on their screen a few months ago, every Android phone manufacturer has now been rushing to also put a notch on their own phones' screens just like Apple's.
I thought the death of Steve Jobs would put an end to this because many people said that he was the reason why Apple was so good at coming up with new and innovative designs.
