>Apple has moved humanity forward
I would say this is quite a lot of hyperbole. They have refined what others have made but they have not moved humanity forward.
The Haber-Bosch process, Norman Borlaug, the space race, the production of a silicon chip etc have al moved humanity forward. Apple in comparison made some trinkets.
