Despite the naysayers, the device went on to revolutionize the smartphone industry and become an indispensable part of daily life. Over the years, CNET Group brands — including CNET, Lifehacker, Mashable, PCMag, Popular Science, and ZDNET — have been chronicling Apple's major milestones.\n\nIn 2005, Apple made a significant shift by transitioning its MacBook lineup to Intel chips. This move marked a pivotal moment in the company's history and set the stage for future technological advancements. April 2015 witnessed another milestone when Tim Cook unveiled the Apple Watch at the Worldwide Developers Conference, announcing it as \"one more thing.\"\n\nAs Apple readies another groundbreaking announcement for its September 9 fall live event, the CNET Group is reflecting on the company's most critical coverage moments. Looking back at these events provides valuable insights into what may lie ahead for the tech giant. The CNET Group will be sharing an \"Apple a Day\" highlight from the past throughout the upcoming Apple event and beyond. For those who think they have a crystal ball when it comes to Apple's future moves, the company is hosting a Big Guessing Game contest, offering a new Apple Watch to the winner.",
