But apple is quite good at showing up late and getting market share anyway.

Sure. It is known that Apple shows up late. Users keep buying their products, so they must be doing something right. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think more often than not it's more important to be early rather than being exactly the first. Unless you patent it in a way that makes it extremely hard to copy but software doesn't really work that way a lot of times. Being first barely seems to give you any advantage long term. You just want to be early enough before the network effect takes hold, for example.
