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.

    What bubble? The iPod was an enormous cultural phenomenom that brought mp3 players into the mainstream. Nobody’s ever heard of the saehan mpman, even though it predated the iPod for years, because it was bought by a few thousand early adopters and made no impact at all.

    This guy hates apple so much he’s trying to convince me they’re not financially successful lmao

      What your arguments probe is that Apple had a better marketing team and brand recognition (due to iMac) than the manufacturers who were there before.

      Yeah, Apple was financially successful, but not due to innovation. Just good marketing.

        So you’re strawmanning me, basically. I said they created a market. I said that because it’s true. I never said a damn thing about how they created the market, in fact I went to great lengths to point out that all of these devices existed before apple created theira. You’re so desperate to rant about fanboys that you inserted opinions into my post that weren’t there.
