Apple was known for the one-button mouse in 1983, 15 years before the iMac

Yeah but the iMac was when they introduced the completely symmetrical mouse that you couldn't tell which was it was pointing without looking for where the cord was. The previous one-button mice were just lacking functionality but looked as bad as most mice did in those days. The round one-button mice looked nicer but functioned worse, hence form over function.

That said, I should have probably added an "at least" to my original statement.
