The Walkman was a hugely successful product, but I don't think that everyone owned one. It was popular with teenagers, exercise/fitness enthusiasts, and a few other categories. It wasn't something that a businessman would have owned, or an elderly person, or a poor person. Today, however, all of those people own smartphones.
I really think it was the iPhone that changed Apple.

You go on a walk and everyone has one of these things strapped to their hip. I assume business people still want to listen to the baseball game taking the commuter rail home.
