Apple aren't saying they are doing it first, they are saying they are doing it better.
Which is true. They are giving developers the same content, with easier ways to build upon it.
Android built their entire OS off based on iOS.
Apple has the right to take back whatever the hell they want.
Windows was able to make a phone OS that was original. So yeah, if someone copied my OS then I would no shame in their ideas and improving them.
