Tablets existed before the iPad. I owned one in 2005. I also think Microsoft itself entering the hardware biz was an important point in the history of computing. Apple Watch also wasn’t the first wristwatch computer but it got a mention as well. Seems like a trend on the whole piece. Then there’s the G5, which the history notes was “ hailed as the first true 64-bit personal computer.” That toes the Apple marketing line at the time precisely, but there was plenty of 64-bit hardware available before the G5 came out. Windows XP 64 bit edition was released prior, while OSX hardly even supported 64bit computing when the G5 was released. It was pure marketing hype.
