No, for its fourth or fifth or thereabouts? It happened years after Metro, as did Google Material Design (a fantastic improvement to the platform).
So others copied Apple's first Iphone UI. Now do you get it or are you still going to argue about this?

It's objectively awkward. Just few examples from my use of a mac: You open xCode, nothing appears, it just changed top menu. You click on any other app in the meantime, and you need to go back to dock to do same action that opened it in first place. You try to maximize window? For some reason it will move to other desktop. You try to drag a window to the side, like in every other OS, to have it on half on screen? Noo…
Some of them are valid complaints. > I have to deal with this 'perfect UX' No one is forcing you to do that, just walk away but we know you are not going to do that.
If I would be able to compile and upload iOS apps on Linux, and run safari to test frontend, I'd toss both of them out the window that second.
Microsoft is providing VMs for free if you want to test if stuff works under IE/Edge.
Apple is providing a big F you, buy our stuff.

Or touch only operated interface from Motorola a1000 from 2004?
And those are not by any means first phones in each category.

> Why is every mobile UI a copy of the first Iphone. Windows Mobile was definitely not a copy of the first iPhone.[1] I already pointed out that it was, in fact, Apple who took inspiration from Metro - which was the first iteration of the modern flat UI.

Are you saying that Apple copied Windows Mobile UI for its first Iphone?

You mean app drawer with icons, which Nokia 7650 had in 2003? Or touch only operated interface from Motorola a1000 from 2004? And those are not by any means first phones in each category.

And why does it matter? Apple just ripped off their design, period.
It matters because it took Apple to show the world how to do it properly.
They took it to the point when people thought that Apple invented 3g when iPhone 3g went out, when it was on market for almost 10 years, and it was an update to what everyone else had already.
iPhone was way behind Symbian and Windows mobile at date of launch.
It didn't even have multitasking...
Also, use some arguments instead of switching topic every reply.

No they didn't. What they did is show the world how to create a marketing campaign. They took it to the point when people thought that Apple invented 3g when iPhone 3g went out, when it was on market for almost 10 years, and it was an update to what everyone else had already. iPhone was way behind Symbian and Windows mobile at date of launch.

Thank you for making my point I, you can do all the marketing you want but in the end you cannot sell a shitty product which Symbian and Windows Mobile learnt the hard way.
Apple succeeded because the user experience worked.

You accuse me of switching topic and then go and talk about 3g, how about practice what you preach? Thank you for making my point I, you can do all the marketing you want but in the end you cannot sell a shitty product which Symbian and Windows Mobile learnt the hard way.

Neither Symbian, nor WP phones had such campaigns, and this is why they got beaten by inferior product.
Why do you think Macs stopped selling when Jobs was gone, while ux didn't change?
Apples user experience is so bad, that there literally are paid Mac apps that fix their flaws. And they sell.
There are no iOS ones, since you cannot customize anything besides wallpaper and ringtone there, everything locked.
I bet you did not even have top tier phone other than iPhone in your hands, cause you'd admit it yourself.
