Genuine question.

I know they were the scrappy startup doing different cool things. But, what are the most major innovative things that they introduced, improved or just implemented that either revolutionized, improved or spurred change?

I am aware of the possibility of both fanboys and haters just duking it out below. But there's always that one guy who has a fkn well-formatted paragraph of gold. I await that guy.

Creative Labs and others were doing MP3 players before them.

They have a really nice user-interface. I suppose being user-friendly and accessible can be considered innovative, but that's only when talking to idiots who don't see the immediate value in such things.

That's it.

You can consider this comment stupid but I found the action button pretty cool while I was toying with the iPhone 15s at a T-Mobile recently
