      MacBooks, yea, it’s a laptop. They had some really good ideas in there, sure. MagSafe and touchpads that didnt royally suck ass were welcome features.

      Yes and no, the first iPhone was innovative, but after that, it just became refinement.

        It wasn’t innovative. They took existing products, and polished and marketed them. Apple has always been a lifestyle brand.
