> many 'innovations' by Apple, like thunderbolt or retina, are really just 'one-upping' the competition and attempting to lock the consumer in to something that's no more than a gimmick. Sure thunderbolt is fast, but it's not something that any tech company couldn't design
Definitely. For example, Thunderbolt was designed by Intel. Apple had an exclusive license for a while, but it's available on Windows laptops[1] now, albeit sometimes with their own proprietary connector[2].
