...been seen in other smartphones? Has Apple brought anything new to the world of smartphones.. and what?
Were they the first to launch panorama camera to smartphones?
And what about Siri, was that seen anywhere else?

nope, they just copy or buy everything

there have been voice assistant apps and panorama cameras on phones before Apple came out
and apple bought siri from another company, they didn't even develop it themselves.

Siri was supposed to be put on Verizon Wireless phones originally, but then Apple bought it at a higher price, which then got Siri into iPhones today. Apple really hasn't done anything that was revolutionary lately. The only time that happened was with the iPhone 4 (2 years ago) with the advent of the high 960x640 pixel display, glass technology, and a fast CPU. Same goes with the original iPhone when it was first launched. But now, that's died off...

As for your second question, the panorama feature was first made with the Galaxy Nexus (Android) when it first launched last year. Apple decided to basically "copy" that feature and add it to the iPhone 5. Most of the features from the iPhone are basically just rehashes of previous generations of iPhones (iOS 6 has like very few changes from iOS 5) or copies from other OSs, just refined a bit more and simplified (notification bar VERY similar to Android). Hope this helped

I love how their marketing makes it look like Apple created some of those things and they were being "innovative" on their newest iPhones.

I've had panoramic camera shot for many years now on various phones - there have been countless voice assistance programs on cell phones for many years already as well. The first iPhone was the revolutionary product.. every one since then has just been a minor upgrade while using components and features that have been around already -

Multi-touch was an Apple 1st. Prior to that all touchscreen devices only had/allowed 1 point of input on screen at a time.

Apps of course were popularized by Apple & their App Store

Guess you could put threaded messages in their as well.
