What?
What Apple did was assembling a product using already existing technologies. No doubt the first two iPhones were a big leap forward on the phone market. What they did was improve the phone making the keyboard obsolete, and making the software better.
Credit for that. It wasn't without inspiration from already existing products though.
Portraying Steve Jobs as being ahead of his time and declaring him one of this century's biggest innovators is quite an exaggeration.
