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.

What do you think “improved” means in the OP?

[–] otp -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When paired with "innovate/innovation", not "taking" something.

Taking a thing and then improving it to the point that it has massively larger appeal has value, innovative or not.

But if it's not innovative, then it's not innovative, which was the question in the post title, lol

Every innovation is built on top of other ideas. All of them.

You're getting hung up mostly on the word "took". They could have said "started with". But what was built was successful both by being innovative and well-executed.
