#2Cool idea but I am not old enough/have not have enough (any) interest in some of the older products, so I think a "skip" option would be cool.

#4QuickTime and FaceTime are useful but I never thought of them as especially innovative. HyperCard, OSX, the phones, those really moved things forward independently of the rest of the industry. Perhaps I don't appreciate the software side enough.

I disagree with "original iPad" being the highest-placed product in that line. iPad 2 should have that spot, no question. A product so successful they sold it for a really long time, plus its guts served in the also-long-lived first gen iPad mini. It was a giant improvement over the original iPad, with a crazy-long support life and outstanding performance characteristics.

#7This is only for really old people. I entered Apple's ecosystem 20 years ago and I've never seen half of these products in real life.
I'm surprised that The Verge went ahead with this, but knowing the state of things, I'm sure they coded some guy's idea and never thought about the (tiny) demographic interested in this.

I think others are ranking it not that way because of the hardware, but because of the concept and how it dramatically changed the market for tablet computers.

+1. Skip would be nice.

#10Old guy, here.
This ranking is fun and the as-of-now results mostly track.
1. Original iPhone
2. M1 Chip
3. Original iPod
4. Original Macintosh
5. Mac OS X
Though I’d put them in a different order.
