So what Apple and others re-defined was the price and the UI of a feature phone. They didn't even enter the smartphone market.
I can and I do the point is that super functional ship that could travel any water in any weather simply isn't defined as a smartphone by the majority of smartphone users (no matter what the correct definition might be). A smartphone has to have a bar and a dance floor, that is the definition today.

The fact that I have used smartphones long before the iPhone existed, and wouldn't even consider the iPhone as a smartphone, hardly any androids for that matter, this is irrelevant. The girls and the grandmothers have stolen the smartphone.

Smartphones are getting boring. There's lots more fun stuff happening with smart tvs and related stuff atm.
