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.

    On most other systems of the mid-1980s, you run your application program (from the command line) and then tell the program to load a file.

    Kinda funny that iPad/iOS has sort of gone in reverse on this, by virtue of not really having an open file system. You now open the app, then open the document within it.

      There’s also the Files app too that Apple added that does give you a filesystem view, where you can tap files to have them opened in their associated application.
