It doesn't have to be every year. Every 4 years could be it, but it isn't. Apple's recent 'innovations' are the expected outcome of large amounts of money and demand for higher performance. When Apple released the first Iphone, that was innovation. The watch, innovative but ineffective. Apple hasn't made anything innovative enough to trump the lineup of Macbooks and Iphones. It's the same thing as saying the Intel I9 series is 'innovative'. It's planned release of better performing features, there is no big gap being crossed.
