They absolutely were not first to the smart phone, that was blackberry. It's just that blackberry sucked. They were first to PC but I don't think they were first to laptop.

Sure you can go back well before blackberry to find even earlier versions of the smartphone but the type we all use today was introduced by Apple.

		They just removed the physical keyboard. Pretty much everything else about a modern phone was either added in later years or already existed. The first iphone was extremely basic.
