Trackpads too. Laptop displays. The original iPhone for sure.
Seriously it took PC MFGs until 2015 to get trackpads to be not awful, when Apple had great ones like a decade before. The clickpad was copied by basically every PC laptop maker and I didn't use one that wasn't terrible until last year. For better or worse, everyone rips off what Apple does, even if Apple didn't do it first, and the rip-offs are generally really bad. People buy them thinking that "it's the same thing".
Hey, you were only supposed to name one ;-)

They bought NeXT better than anyone, so Cocoa, still best GUI toolbox 25 years after it was originally created. What a sad industry we are :-/

It works. So if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Something being old doesn't mean it isn't still great.

MP3 players.
