This month, we look at two products that marked a shift in Apple’s business — the iMac G3 and the iPhone.
The iMac G3 is the machine used by Steve Jobs to turn around Apple after his return. After slashing the product line, he leveraged the iMac’s state-of-the-art tech, low cost and good looks to bring Apple back from the brink.
The iMac enjoyed 7 refreshes over the course of three years, before being transformed to the “Lampshade” G4.
After the iMac — and then the iPod — bolstered Apple’s books from near ruin to a great success, the iPhone has taken Apple from a successful company to an unstoppable one. This month, Apple released the sixth edition — the all-new iPhone 5 — with a larger screen, better camera and LTE, all in a thinner and lighter case.
