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.

Ease of use

But only if you are trying to do things in the way they want you to. Any deviation from that path is exponentially more difficult though.

Temporarily, my provider uses appletv boxes for as their set top box and typing on a single file keyboard is ridiculously anti consumer to encourage people to use their iPhone.

Pretty much all set top boxes have this problem. At least you can use your phone or voice search on the remote. I’m pretty sure you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard as well.

It's never easy but theirs is the worst I've used.

And then started to undermine that innovation in their UIs instead of paying to use patents that are better than what they have come up with in its place.
