Over the past few decades, Apple has built up a reputation as a pioneer of sorts. Even before the iPhone and the iPod, the company was producing products that pushed the envelope — even if its reputation flagged a little in the late ‘90s.
Often, Apple isn’t the first company to bring new and interesting ideas to market, but its efforts can help popularize them among the masses. Sadly, though, that version of Apple is not the same one we're seeing today. If that Apple still existed, we probably wouldn’t still be waiting around for the foldable iPhone Flip.
