The Verge Polls for ‘The Best Apple Products of the Last 50 Years’

The (ever-changing) Top 10 products in The Verge’s poll are about what you’d expect: Mac OS X; the original iPhone, Macintosh, iPod, AirPods, and iPad; iconic hardware (like the Bondi Blue iMac and Wedge MacBook Air); and true game changers (like the M1 chip).

Via John Gruber, who laments the low ranking of his beloved Apple Extended Keyboard II. Meanwhile, the LaserWriter and ImageWriter consistently rank in the bottom three (despite igniting the desktop publishing revolution), and the Apple //c—my beloved first computer—isn’t even available as a voting option. I’m calling shenanigans.
