Name me 1 product in Apple's portfolio that when it hit the sales floor, didn't cause the whole industry to rethink how they run things?
Do you now how much money Apple makes on the iPad? Do you know that everyone sans maybe Samsung is losing money on their respective tablets? And all they did was make the hardware.
You cannot deny the power of Apple when it enters the arena of consumer electronics.

I already did. The Apple III. It was Jobs' baby and was a big failure largely in part to his insistance on a quiet running machine. You can point to the original sales sheets of how it sold well at first, but that's before the Internet age and before the "this thing is a heaping pile of donkey ****" word got spread.
Not everything the man touched turned to gold.
