Hmmm... how do you reconcile your theory with the fact that the original iPhone was announced 6 months before it launched?

Not sure what you mean here, but I agree largely with the grand-parent poster. Apple are struggling to innovate and others are catching up (not just Android). So rather than try to innovate, they are litigating. In some ways it's a good sign, in other ways it's bad. The market is maturing, but Apple is struggling to keep in the driving seat - and they are being overtaken by others.

In the end, I want what's best for us all. Healthy competition.

Apple's legal team haven't ever been nice guys, since way before the iPhone (maybe even before Jobs' return, I don't know).

This is a false dichotomy, Apple is not suddenly forcing its engineers to study law.
