The article claims Apple reinvented the telephone, ignoring the 1994 IBM Simon smartphone and every smartphone since before the iPhone came out. BlackBerry, PalmOS/WebOS, Windows CE, Linux, Symbios, etc. None of them exist apparently and Apple invented the smartphone, and everyone else ripped them off.

So article claims Apple reinvented the telephone, but you treat that as a claim that Apple invented telephone. Compare the mobile world prior to iPhone and iPad and after and say that these devices changed nothing with a straigth face.
