Rounded rectangles (in computer interfaces specifically; they were already everywhere else, and Jobs just copied them, like everything else; but copying them was an innovation of sorts, since no one else had considered that wasting resources rounding corners might be worth it).

Get more money for less

Rounded corners on their devices and marketing. We already had smartphones, but nobody made the leap to specifically market form over function. Once jobs realized that, it was a simple matter of showing how smooth and limited iPhones were compared to the competition.

You aren't wrong.

While I personally have not tried it, nor have many others, yet those who have tried and commented and as I have assessed via video of the device, the Vision Pro seems to be poised to once again define how we interface with the next computing platform. The spatial/immersive computing platform. It is apparently like magic and I cannot wait to try it.

INNOVATE not INVENT

wireless charging? i mean magnets in qi2 are apple's idea, also i wonder how current smartphone market would look like without iPhone, would we still have stylus operated resistive screens? i know they weren't the first ones with capacitive touchscreens and finger oriented UI, but whey popularized it, definitely made it mainstream
