This is kind of unfair.

- The Apple Watch was always a fashion accessory as much as anything else. And what sort of tech journalist didn't already have a Pebble or Sony device beforehand?

- The iPad immediately became Apple's sub-$1000 computing line. Out of the box it still had productivity all over it.

- The iPhone, as detailed by Bryan Merchant in the surely-you've-read-it The One Device was the crux point of over a century's worth of innovation and a prior decade obsessed with convergence.
