What DID Apple innovate? (lemmy.world)

Genuine question.

I know they were the scrappy startup doing different cool things. But, what are the most major innovative things that they introduced, improved or just implemented that either revolutionized, improved or spurred change?

I am aware of the possibility of both fanboys and haters just duking it out below. But there's always that one guy who has a fkn well-formatted paragraph of gold. I await that guy.

Apple is incredibly well polished. It takes ideas that already exists and makes them work for the 90% of people.

It brought the smart phone to the masses. The ipod the iPad. It is the only smart watch manufacturer making profit.

All these existed and most server a function and niche community. Apple bought it polished it and server it up with a user friendly interface.

Can it reinvent the wheel with smart glasses ? This will be it's biggest test. This is a niche area. This is incredibly expensive and it's going to be a hard sell.
