* January 7, 2002 — Apple introduces a new iMac line with three models.

On 19 February 2008, Apple released Xsan 2, the first major update, which introduces MultiSAN, and completely redesigned administration tools.

The use of letter " i " prefixes and suffixes to denote information technology or interactivity was very much in vogue at this time, notably with the launch of the iMac and the iPod by Apple Computer ; according to the BBC, the " i " in BBCi stood for " interactivity " as well as " innovation ".

This newer, lower power technology can be found in the Apple iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad, and iPhone 4, the Hewlett-Packard EliteBook mobile workstations and the Nokia 701.

Other past Macintosh lines which used PowerPC processors include the PowerBook 5300 and later models, iMac, iBook and Xserve as well as the Apple Network Server, which was not technically a Macintosh.

Apple has manufactured several popular examples of all-in-one computers, such as the original Macintosh of the mid-1980s and the iMac of the late 1990s and 2000s.

Like the iMac, the iBook G3 had a PowerPC G3 CPU, and no legacy Apple interfaces.

Apple targeted the Cube at the market between the iMac G3 and the Power Mac G4, and was the first desktop configuration offering since the discontinued Power Macintosh G3 almost two years earlier.

The PowerPC 750 was used in many computers from Apple, including the original iMac.

The GeoPort was dropped, along with SCSI and ADB, when Apple introduced the iMac in 1998 ; early demonstration models had a software modem based on the GeoPort Telecom Adapter ’ s technology, but this was replaced with a hardware 56K modem by the time the iMac shipped.

Although Apple switched to a desaturated grey they called “ Platinum ” in 1987, users began to refer to them as “ beige ” following the introduction of the brightly colored iMac.

It was finally discontinued by Apple on July 5, 2006 and replaced by a cheaper, low-end iMac that, like the eMac, was originally sold exclusively to educational institutions.

Apple discontinued the iMac G3 line in March 2003 but did not fill the " cheap " price point until May 2003, when the eMac line was updated and its price brought down to old iMac levels.

Some analysts believe Apple wanted to force the general public to purchase the more costly Mac mini or iMac which had higher profit margins.

Apple released their 970FX-powered machines throughout 2004: the Xserve G5 in January, the Power Mac G5 in June, and the iMac G5 in August.

The original Apple Computer, also known retroactively as the Apple I, or Apple-1, is a personal computer released by the Apple Computer Company ( now Apple Inc .) in 1976.

The Apple I's built-in computer terminal circuitry was distinctive.

As Wozniak was the only person who could answer most customer support questions about the computer, the company offered Apple I owners discounts and trade-ins for Apple IIs to persuade them to return their computers, contributing to their scarcity.

The high price was likely due to the rare documents and packaging offered in the sale in addition to the computer, including the original packaging ( with the return label showing Steve Jobs ' parents ' address, the original Apple Computer Inc ' headquarters ' being their garage ), a personally typed and signed letter from Jobs ( answering technical questions about the computer ), and the original invoice showing ' Steven ' as the salesman.

It was also a less expensive alternative to the Apple Macintosh and IBM PC as a general-purpose business or home computer.

Apple Business BASIC shipped with the Apple /// computer.

After the release of the Apple Lisa computer in January 1983, Apple invested considerable effort in the development of a local area networking ( LAN ) system for the machines.

Through this period, Apple was deep in development of the Macintosh computer.

By 1987 Ethernet was clearly winning the standards battle over Token Ring, and in the middle of that year Apple introduced EtherTalk 1. 0 for the newly released Macintosh II computer.

Apple solved this problem using an AppleBus-like solution, using a single port on the back of the computer into which the user could plug an adaptor for any given cabling system.

So they decided to designed a TRS-80 and CP / M software compatible computer system, which ( following the lead of Apple Computer ) they decided to name after a " typical Dutch flower ".

However, as the system was reaching completion, the personal computer revolution was starting with the release of machines like the Commodore PET, TRS-80 and Apple II.

Soon after, BBS software was being written for all of the major home computer systems of the late 1970s era-the Apple II, Atari, Commodore and TRS-80 being some of the most popular.

Digital Ocean, Inc. an OEM licensee of the Apple Newton, offered the Seahorse product, which integrated the Newton handheld computer, an AMPS / CDPD handset / modem along with a web browser in 1996, winning the CTIA's hardware product of the year award as a smartphone, arguably the world's first.

However, the battle was in vain, as neither platform captured a significant share of the world computer market and only the Apple Macintosh would survive the industry-wide shift to Microsoft Windows running on PC clones.

Apple continued its trend of using transparent colored plastics for the shell, and releasing a product in multiple colors.

It was similar to the Apple Macintosh and its simple design allowed the ST to precede the Commodore Amiga's commercial release by almost two months .< ref name =" amigaos ">

Jonathan Ive has received several awards for his design of Apple Inc. products like this MacBook.

The Nova influenced the design of both the Xerox Alto ( 1973 ) and Apple I ( 1976 ) computers, and its architecture was the basis for the Computervision CGP ( Computervision Graphics Processor ) series.

Adobe's licensing fees were widely considered to be prohibitively high, and it was this issue that led Apple to design their own system, TrueType, around 1991.

The 100 series PowerBooks were intended to tie into the rest of the Apple desktop products utilizing the corporate Snow White design language incorporated into all product designs since 1986.

Another design site which worked on the project was in Austin, Texas that was created by some ex-DEC designers returning from Apple Computer and Motorola.

The SA-110's first design win was the Apple MessagePad 2000.

The company could not copy the BIOS directly as a result of the court decision in Apple v. Franklin, but it could reverse-engineer the IBM BIOS and then write its own BIOS using clean room design.

The LaserWriter was the first major printer designed by Apple to use the new Snow White design language created by Frogdesign.

To support the RS / 6000 and RS / 6000 SP2 product lines in 1996, IBM had its own design team implement a single-chip version of POWER2, the P2SC (" POWER2 Super Chip "), outside the Apple / IBM / Motorola alliance in IBM's most advanced and dense CMOS-6S process.

He helped design and manufacture the Apple I keyboard.

Some of the hardware and software features of the Apple III were borrowed in the design of the Apple IIe.

The Alto greatly influenced the design of personal computers in the following decades, notably the Apple Macintosh and the first Sun workstations.

Apple contracted another company, Pixo, to help design and implement the user interface under the direct supervision of Steve Jobs.

Efforts on the part of Motorola and IBM to popularize PReP / CHRP failed when Apple, IBM, and Taligent all failed to provide an operating system that could run on it and when Apple and IBM couldn't reach agreement on whether the reference design must or must not have a parallel port.

Raskin also claims to have had continued direct input into the eventual Mac design, including the decision to use a one-button mouse as part of the Apple interface, a departure from the Xerox PARC's 3-button mouse.

Among other design changes, it included the same trademarked inlaid Apple logo and recessed port icons as the Apple IIc and IIGS before it, but it essentially retained the original design.
