Apple user since 1985 here. Apple has made some marvellous things, but if we actually look at their entire history, innovation has happened in lurches, it’s not like every single thing they ship upends and redefines entire categories.
Tons of stuff the do is incremental, and yes, lots of dead-ends happen. Just look at the history of their mice. Or Newton. Or their tepid ventures into consoles, Macs that doubled as TVs, or CD-ROM drives that were also standalone CD players.
- sneak 7y agoYeah, you've got a great point. It's easy to forget a lot of their quirky weird sometimes-dead-end experiments over the years. It could just be a memory bias. To this end, though: are there any Apple historians, inside or outside of the company?
