    What about WiFi? Apple didn't invent WiFi, Australian public funded research institute CSIRO did.

    They didn't invent it, but when they made wifi products they didn't limit them to just apples.

    I saw a documentary once about the engineers working to make wifi a thing with Apple devices. I can't find it, but you can see how the crowd reacts seeing it for the first time https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HFngngjy4fk
