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.

The original Xbox was a very fragile success; if Halo 1 wasn't such a god tier system seller, that console would have been dead in the water too.

Microsoft had a VERY hard time convincing developers to get onboard with the console before it launched. I imagine Apple and Bandai had similar issues but no system seller.
