This is the crux of the matter-- Apple can and should should defend its innovations from theft. From the authors' own words:

The iPhone was like nothing that came before. And Apple should be able to protect its innovations and intellectual property.


Granted, the iPhone was a sea change. So was the iPad. And Apple ought to be able to protect the innovations and intellectual property that set those devices apart.


If the author concedes these points, then how would he suggest protecting Apple's innovations? And what were these innovations that the author suggests "set these devices apart?" Apple will argue that every one of its 200 iPhone-related inventions contribute to the whole that makes the iPhone unique and innovative. And they will argue those points one-by-one. And if history is any guide, it will win some and lose some.

What's wrong with that?
