Successful branding.
Keeping overpaid dumb hipsters from saving too much money.
1 trillion dollars
Designing computers that are what the masses need/want
By computers, I'm including phones and tablets
Giving hardware at a discount to schools to create iToddlers that will eventually keep buying their products as adults out of familiarity.
Other than making money off retards as mentions, nothing. Poor design choices, backwards technology that is holding us back by utilizing psychological tactics with marketing and a clear lack of self-awareness and self-reflection, especially when they fuck up their simple tasks (which is often).

Got the latest cheapest iPad and everyone in the household is planning on getting one too, after going through so many chink tablets it’s one of apples best products for price in my opinion
Getting technology into the hands of normies, regularising homosexuality and mental illness, creating one of the best planned obsolescence products since the lightbulb, and introducing a botnet so bad that it comes second only to Google (fuckin Snowden has even said he won’t go near a room with an Apple product in it).
To many, the things I mentioned are above are seen as genuinely good things. And I won’t say they aren’t, that’s up to the people to decide. However, I’m personally not too big on them.
Inventing the command button in the year 1100.
>buys $330 Apple device
>it outperforms $100 chink device
>implying this is something special about Apple apart from them forcing you into buying a higher end device than you would have chosen on Android
It's a defense mechanism of their post-purchase rationalization. It's the same reason mactoddlers only ever compare their $2000 fruitbooks to $300 Walmart laptops in a desperate attempt to make their trash look good, because if they compared it to a real $2000 laptop, they would look like retards.
>being this poor
>being too poor to buy a proper Android tablet to compare your shitty iPad to
This and ONLY this. If there is one good thing about having a cult of numbskull consumerists who will go through any hardship you throw at them, is that you can actually force society to progress. Too bad Apple rarely does actually logical things like that. Most of the time they introduce inconveniece for the sake of design.

killing Steve Jobs
Making Jow Forumsays REEEEEEEEEEE for ten years straight.
Selling overpriced underperforming devices to retards
Macfags - Idiots that give you money no matter how much you are fucking them in the ass. They are greatest invention of Apple.
a viable desktop modelled on XEROX parc technology/insight
something microsoft did not achieve
Selling overpriced trash to bugmen like this one
reliability
dependability
consistancy
tactile, attractive devices
a market
support
quality
control

Probably the nice fonts, which ironically was Steve Jobs' sole contribution.
rubbish
CUPS
Here's why
>omg how can someone disagree with my circlejerking contrarian useless ass
>must be a paid shill or worshipper
Except I've never bought anything from Apple (though I inherited a iPod Classic about five years ago). You're free to try again, hopefully without so obviously being a sorry little loser.
the end of the western world.
when the apple bubble bursts, it will literally sink the whole us economy
Well, since you're talking about accomplishments not INVENTIONS:
>making the 16:10 aspect ratio popular for a while
>killing flash
>popularizing thunderbolt and displayport
>popularizing usb-c on phones and laptops
thistbhfam
>240B+ and growing debt
>growth fueled ENTIRELY on stock buybacks and nothing else
>iphone and mac revenue have flatlined for years
>more and more debt being taken on to fuel growth to keep investors happy
>this tactic is historically seen as a massive sign of desperation to sustain stock price and growth but is ignored because "muh apel"
>shareholder equity has shrunk from 400B to 150B in a matter of only years because apple bought it all back as smart investors see the tip of the iceberg approacing
>no staying power besides fleeting brand recognition
>easily and readily replaceable in every product category
>150B+ dodged taxes governments are cracking down on
>all "cash" stashed in tax dodge shell companies that can't be touched or they'll face massive repatriation taxes
>zero actual cash on hand to even fund operations, fueling even more debt
>start back at top
Literally history's biggest bubble waiting to pop.
You mean the fonts are rubbish or the statement that Steve Jobs was the skill behind them is rubbish?

Putting nvme in their iPhones and catching up with good hardware finally, but they need to figure out the cooling and then they are set to be good actually. Their phones hit 900MBps which dumps on half of Jow Forums computers. I’m comfy on my desktop though with a 960 pro while you guys still use ide drives and iPhones btfo half the systems on this website.
and yet you're a failure in life. irony
