Both of which have had so-so reception. Certainly nothing like Jobs' industry-disruptive innovations.

  iPod iPhone no disk drive UNIX-based OS goes mainstream first mainstream OS with a GUI iMac - making PC's 'friendly' iTunes - made it cool to pay for music again To name a few.

    Anything except first two is not that impressive... And iPhone is built on top of years of speculation and foundational change in material and wireless infrastructure. But the point is that apple now no longer needs to grow like jobs era. And for all good will, I see no chance for jobs to pull out new things equally big as iPhone anyway. But some can believe that regardless.

    I'm not sure how "no disk drive" disrupted the industry more than Airpods and Apple Watch.

    > UNIX-based OS goes mainstream What are you crediting Jobs with? What does this mean? It seems like your list fell apart after the first 3 concrete things you listed, the rest are just random things you like about Apple.

      Jobs founded NeXT, which created a desktop UNIX OS based on mach/BSD. Most importantly, NeXTSTEP had a nice GUI framework built on Objective-C. When Jobs returned, NeXT merged with Apple, and Apple gained ownership of NeXTSTEP/OpenStep, evolving it into Rhapsody and OS X. Of course the programming and design were done by the software teams under Avie Tevanian, first at NeXT and later at Apple.

    Mainstreaming desktop (and laptop) UNIX was a kind of amazing achievement (and a sort of strange side-effect of Jobs returning to Apple with NeXT in tow.) Though original Mac, LaserWriter, and iPad are also big on my list.

Pretty sure airpods have been one of Apple's most successful and top reviewed product. Sure their was negative press before they were released, but everything I see now states how good they are and everyone one I talk to loves them.
