what do you want that apple pioneered, it was basically all of it (though a lot was stolen)

for your question i'd say a mouse

Well I searched for Apple Computer History (and I guess you could do the same)

Found this site

http://www.apple-history.com/

It says the Lisa that came out in 1983 was the first with a Graphical User Interface. It may not of course be the answer you are looking for.

You can see a timeline on the right, and under 1983 is the Lisa.
Since the question mentions a device I would tend to go with the 3.5" floppy disk drive.
Actually, although both mouse and 3.5" floppy drive appeared in the "mainstream" with the Lisa in 1983, its price tag of $9,995 meant it was not (and never could be) marketed as a personal computer. To be pedantic, Apple implemented the introduction of these devices on a personal computer with the January 1984 launch of the Mac.
