Some might say earbuds but Apple was fourth in line to release them. Others may say BT trackers, but Apple was 8 years behind the Dash. Others may say ARM technology or CPUs, but there are so many companies who pioneered CPUs before Apple even existed, that argument is patently absurd. This is not a question of which is better but a question of who was first. As asking "which is better" is a completely different question This question is to find out the answer whether Apple has ever truly pioneered any high tech in the past decade. On the iPhone or on the Mac. And no, buying ARM technology to release those laughably permanently flawed "Apple Silicon" chips is not pioneering of ARM technology in any way. This question is an important question because it deals in fact. Not in marketing. Most people on these newsgroups know absolutely nothing about Apple products, but I'm hoping someone (anyone) here knows something about them. Has Apple pioneered *any* useful high technology in the past decade? If so, what?
