No it wouldn't, what a ridiculous thing to say. The iPhone came out of nowhere and was a revelation, Android was a hastily (very well) assembled clone.

Were you not around when they came out?

Yes, I was there when apple stole the idea of a touch screen phone from Nokia and Palm, what's your point?
I don't want to get involved in this flame war, but Apple began development of the Newton (a mobile device with a touch screen) in 1987. Palm wasn't even founded until 1992.
You still haven't offered any examples.
