I'm not sure 'original' is a word which can be leveraged at Apple all that often.
They didn't invent the mouse, the all in one, the smart phone, the mp3 player, online music stores or the tablet but they've arguably "revolutionised" or improved upon each of those once other companies have laid the ground work.
The only originality, imo, they're renowned for is their insistence on a walled garden. Something which other tech companies are now seeking to emulate.
I think that the Apple Watch will sell in the hundreds of millions despite its fairly fugly appearance. But that's also a good thing for the sector as a whole as other companies will have to innovate with more exciting technology to try to undercut the marketing machine of Apple.
