Yeah, a simple google search showed me the first apple device (partial computer) marketed by steve jobs and steve wozniak was the Apple I which went on sale July of 1976, though it was little more then the motherboard itself, users had to supply and add their own PSU, display, case and storage system, as well as keyboard.The Apple II which was a more complete computer was introduced in April 1977, and went on sale in june. And went on to spawn multiple Apple II's for years to come, starting with the Apple II plus in june 1979."the Macintosh 128K is Apple's first PC and was released in January of 1984"That's funny because i specifically remember that during Hanukkah in 1979 i received an APPLE IIe and that was 5 years before the first mac.
Apple doesn't create anything new as a whole per se, they do polish and perfect the user experience. Take the apple PC for example, they did create a totally new innovative user experience, especially with the mouse (which they didn't invent but were first to adopt it). No other pc manufacturer wanted the mouse, apple saw it as an oppurtunity and embraced it fully into their OS. Look at the ipod, mp3 players were all over the place, but it was hard to search through folders and find your musis. The ipod changed all that with it's menu system and scroll wheel. Look at the iphone, icons were nothing new. pop ups and stuff were nothing new. However, they were installed on crappy windows os as overlays and slow and choppy. Apple integrated the icons and apps, and polished the user experience. They didn't do anything really totally innovative, but it was so well polished that it felt like something totally new.But with steve jobs gone now, who knows what will happen to apple. I think you may be right for the future of apple, it'll just be high priced equipment in which you're paying for the cool factor.You pay a lot for only the design when it comes to Apple devices
