"Fortune" magazine published a list of 100 products with the "greatest design", and the first one was Apple's iPhone. For this first place, Fortune magazine cited the company’s relentless innovation in hardware and software design as the reason for its success, calling it a device that changes the way we live.
The iPhone was first launched in 2007 and has been updated every year since then. It has "changed the way humans communicate" and has affected almost every aspect of our lives. It ranks first on the list.
Of course, the iPhone is not the only Apple product on the list. Second place went to Apple's own Macintosh computer, which helped define what personal computers would become.
There are also Apple products on the list, specifically: iPod ranked 10th; MacBook Pro ranked 14th, App Store also ranked 22nd on the list; iOS ranked 26th; Apple Watch ranked 26th 46th, while the last Apple product on the list is Apple Pay at 64th.
In addition to Apple products, many other well-known company products are also listed. The ones that ordinary users are more familiar with include: Google search engine, the iconic Eames Chair of Nordic design, OXO peeler, Uber car sharing, and Netflix online streaming Media, Lego bricks, Google Maps, Apollo 11 rocket, sticky notes, Nokia 3210 mobile phone, Sony Walkman, etc.
Chinese users are probably most familiar with WeChat (No. 33) and Mobike (No. 37) produced by Tencent. Fortune magazine commented on WeChat, saying that it integrates a series of important mobile applications and has become a one-stop shop for users. The latter is an elegant "last mile" solution.
