I think my contention is I reserve "changed the world" for things that really did change the world in a holistic sense, not just an affluent subsection of the world. I feel that if you were to expunge Apple from history the shape of things may be somewhat different, but not to the degree that people seem to imply by their existence. I tend to reserve such phrases for, oh I don't know things like the steam/combustion engine, electricity, penicillin, printing press... you know things that really did change the world. Even phrases like "Genius" is hard to discern in relation to Steve when it's (Apple) creations are the product of many people unlike the works of say Einstein or Da Vinci.
