Apple would be dead if it weren't for the iPod, which was just a nice mp3 player with a ton of marketing.
To be fair, that marketing was backed up by the fact that at the time, it really was one of the nicest ones on the market.
It basically allowed them to re-brand RSS feeds with audio files as "podcasts," too, and now everyone uses "podcasts" with no real notion what they actually are under the hood. That was something of a branding coup.
