Taptic notifications? Really?!? That is a nuisance, and most people would rather do without it if they can turn it off. If that’s the best that Apple can do, then I’d suggest that they reinvent the pet rock. But, do you think Apple invented the tech behind taptic notifications?
Variable pressure touch screen? Did Apple invent it, or did they borrow the tech to include in their devices? The R&D for the tech was not done by Apple.
Scrolling crown? Big EFFING deal!

Sharing heart beats? Really, dude? Is that tech worthy of patenting, or is it something that could be easily duplicated by any company? Sharing of data is not something new, although it might be new to you.
Sending graphics to smartphones? Again, who would read graphics on a microscopic screen? That’s a waste of R&D funds, if they even did the R&D.
NFC payment have been done by other smartphones, way before Apple even decide to venture into the tech. Try to catch up.
NFC might be new to Apple, but it’s capabilities have been known by other companies and even used by them, before Apple. Apple might be better at marketing old tech, but they’re not good at doing the R&D for that tech. Apple just implements tech, and doesn’t really produce much new tech.
Apple is still behind in R&D spending, and what they produce, is not worth the money they do spend. So, Apple ends up ‘borrowing’ tech from all the others.
Apple: the biggest thief of innovations on the planet.
You have no evidence of that at all. NO Smart watch is doing it. . . so you just made that up from your rear end. They invented the means of placing Taptic small enough to fit in a watch sized device. You are grasping at straws, adorno. There is a difference than having it in a large device and in a very small device.

Yes, they invented it. They have the patents on it. You don't even know what you are talking about and you attack out of ignorance. . . SHEESH!

Controlling a device as small as a watch IS a big effing deal. No other company has figured it out, so apparently it wasn't so obvious as you might think. Apple did, that's the test, and patented it. Sorry, you lose.

Again, no one thought of it. . . and yes, such a thing is new. . . and patentable.

When you are running a $750 BILLION corporation, then you can make R&D decisions. Most people are finding it fun to do.

I've just seen a chart of the capabilities of all the smart WATCHES being currently made, adorno. YOU are talking about smartphones. Not a single one of the Watches except the Apple Watch even has NFC so you are again trying to obfuscate the issue. Apple is the only Smartphone that can pay for anything, open any doors, participate in area control, or anything that uses NFC. CATCH UP, yourself. Apple cannot patent such a move, because it is obvious, but fitting it into a small package like a watch with all the other functional devices is not easy.

Uh, no. I posted not too long ago the R&D spending of the Electronics companies and Apple at $6.4 BILLION per year was far and away spending more than any of the others, in fact, adorno, Apple R&D spending was more than most's REVENUE. . . just not as a percentage of their income. But they don't have to spend more as a percentage of their income when they are spending more dollars. Again, you are making your "facts" up as you go along.

You are such a liar. Are you even aware of he sheer number of patents that Apple owns? And how many of them they developed? I sincerely doubt it.
What is the source of your deranged hatred for Apple?
