Here's a few hardware items Apple gets credit for popularizing: (without being first; but being first to mass market)

3.5 floppy
laser printing
bitmap display
mouse
keyboard-free phone

lots more

But they have purposely been late to release software until it was ready:
app store and copy/paste in iOS being the best example
EDIT: I'm confident that an API for touchID is in that category
