1. The iPad

When Steve Jobs introduced the iPad nearly 10 years ago, he described it as "the best browsing experience you'll ever have."

"It's unbelievably great. Way better than a laptop, way better than a smartphone," Jobs said on stage in January 2010.

The original iPad cost between $499 and $829. Since then, the device has gone through several iterations and several price points — in 2019 alone, Apple unveiled a new 10.2-inch iPad, iPad Mini, and the iPad Air.
