I've give Apple credit for creating the modern touch-driven smartphone.

And Nokia didn't create the mobile phone nor the smartphone, Blackberry really made the "smartphone", lthough their big innovation was adding messaging and a keyboard to a cross between a Palm Pilot and a Motorola cell phone.

There are very, very, very few "inventions". Almost everything we use and care about is innovative, driven by improvements to things that already exist in some form or another.
