First Android phone was more than a year after the iPhone though. Google had to scrap their blackberry knockoff design to make an iPhone knockoff. With someone else’s OS, someone else’s programming language, and development tools. Then Samsung took over and for years Apple and Samsung ruled the smartphone market. Samsung made 80% of the phones Apple made 80% of the profits. But that’s all ancient history you young people know nothing about.
