I keep hearing this. What are those 'secrets' that you are talking about (Any link which gives specific information?) Samsung has been making phones much before Apple has been. Are those secrets "Rounded phone corners", "icons in a grid", "Slide to Unlock", or "jumping scrollbar"?

Detailed definitions of the chips they are making and the strategy/prioritizations they use while upgrading them?

If you really think Apple has contributed nothing more to the modern smartphone than 'rounded corners', this is not the appropriate place to ask this question because you risk being mistaken for someone trying to start a flamewar. I recommend quora instead.

Recommend Quora? Remind me to ignore your recommendations in the future.

As for Apple contributions, you should probably check out the lawsuits vs Samsung.

I know where the assertion about the round corners comes from.

Are you seriously claiming that this is all that Apple has contributed to the design of modern smartphones?

Your question seemingly assumes that they contributed 'rounded corners' to the smartphones in the first place.

So are you really saying that apple contributed nothing at all to the modern smartphone?
