I&#x27;m a huge iPhone fan, but even I have to admit that the core premise here is a bit far-fetched.  The other phones are not trailing the iPhone, they&#x27;re leading it.  There&#x27;s not a single feature (maybe force-touch?) that my Android friends have not crowed about having long before it finally arrived on the next iPhone iteration.<p>Apple is doing here what Microsoft did when they were in their prime.  Let the other guys experiment with a ton of random features, and then wait, and copy the best features from the last batch, but make them a little better.
