Next you're gonna try and tell me that Apple didn't invent the mobile phone. Or the portable MP3 player. Or the windowing GUI.

Jobs was "inspired" by a visit at Xerox labs, they showed him a GUI built using Smalltalk (which they'd also invented). So naturally, he ran back to his office and invented GUI ;)

There is no prize for second… unless you do it better.

Or for third I guess lol Jobs demoed a mac gui to Gates, and apparently Gates ran strait to his Microsoft office, where he too invented gui. Jobs was very upset for years.

No, but they did invent rounded corners :^)

Steve Jobs invented the "+" sign at Reed College!

Yes but it was much more stylish: ⌘

No, it was not Steve that found the Symbol but Susan Kare the Macintosh graphics artist. https://www.folklore.org/Swedish_Campground.html

But unlike Steve, Susan will live on immortal - as the inventor of the Dogcow.

Yeah, that means it was Steve. :P

(joking, relax..)

I think it actually was an Apple innovation, at least for {hobbyist, home, personal} computers. I did some digging and wasn't able to find anything before the Apple II+ in 1979. Please do prove me wrong, though!

I found an old edition of Byte from 77 where they advertise a "Vector Graphic Vector 1+":

A quick search doesn't find me pictures, but I did find a "Vector 1++”:
