You think iPhone is the only product category that Apple succeeded in with paradigms different than what went before?

More or less. I mean there is the giant iPhone(iPad) and some accessories for the iPhone (watch, airpods).

Ah, yeah, those accessories that would be Fortune 500 companies on their own. Those surely don’t count as whole products that (re)invented categories.
I guess if we declare everything Apple’s ever done to be just pretty versions of ENIAC, they really haven’t had any successful products at all?

What other product categories have Apple "re-invented" or invented. The mobile phone. The tablet. What else?

Headphones? Smart watches? MP3 players?
They didn’t invent any of those, and they didn’t invent the innovations that made their products successful. But the user experience of all of them was so much better than existing products that they went from nothing to dominating the category in just a few years.

Then we can consider it a forgone conclusion that headgear iPhone (Vision) will be a runaway success as just another variant of Apple Thing With Screen (iPhone).

Are you aware how successful those products have been? They don't match iPhone revenue by any means, but they move a ton of units and are the market leaders for their categories.

Apple has had financial success with many products, yes. Is that what we're talking about? No.
Do you really think MacBooks and AirPods are revolutionary products like the iPhone?
