5 inventions that Apple copied from others

1. Tablets: Apple didn't invent the tablet with the iPad. Siemens previously presented its SIMpad SL4 as the first tablet.
2. TouchBar: The TouchBar was introduced and celebrated as an innovation in newer Macbooks. In fact, Microsoft already had such a feature in 2010. However, it was only published in 2014.
3. Dual camera: The iPhone 7 Plus is the first iPhone to offer a dual camera, i.e. two cameras on the back. However, this feature was already used for the first HTC smartphones for 3D recordings.
4. Live Photos: Moving pictures by tapping the screen. This innovation was also celebrated by Apple. In the world of smartphones, there was a similar feature in 2014 with the HTC M8 and the Nokia 950.
5. Slide to Unlock: Every Apple user should be familiar with this. Swiping to the right unlocks the iPhone. Unfortunately, this function has also been copied by others. In 2002, the Swedish company Neonode presented this function. Apple only introduced the feature in 2007.
