Look At These Pictures Of Mac Products Instead Of Buying Apple's $300 Photo Book
Today, Apple released "Designed by Apple in California," book that chronicles the last 20 years of Apple's triumphs in product design and innovation.
The Cupertino tech company recruited photographer Andrew Zuckerman to take 450 photos of Apple products made over the last two decades for the book, which is dedicated to Steve Jobs. In true Apple fashion, the book comes in a small size and a large size, separated by a familiar $100 difference. You can get yourself a copy here.
Or, instead of buying that book, you can scroll through this post of great looking Apple products through the ages right here in your very own internet browser.
We start with what is perhaps the most iconic piece of technology ever created: the iPhone 7 (2016):
Slightly less iconic: the Apple Watch (2016):
The MacBook Pro (2016):
The Mac Pro (2013):
The MacBook (2015):
The iPad (2014):
The iMac (with retina display, 2015):
Of course, we can't forget about the iPods. Here we have the iPod Touch (2015):
The iPod Nano (2015):
The iPod Shuffle (2010):
And this here is our old friend the iPod Mini (2004):
Looking at the the iPod Mini and all it's glory (6Gb worth) made us nostalgic for other old Apple tech, so here some of that. This is the Apple Newton, which the company made from 1993 to 1998:
This is 1984's Lisa 2:
The Apple eMate (1997):
The Macintosh PowerBook 160, which Apple launched in 1993:
The iMac (without retina display, 1998)
Man, those old iMacs were pretty.
This baby right here is the Macintosh 128K Twiggy Mac. The Twiggy Mac was an early design of the first Macintosh. Instead of the conventional floppy disk drive, the Twiggy Mac was built with Steve Wozniak's own (very buggy) version of the floppy drive, which Apple called the Twiggy drive. Because the Twiggy drive was found to be very buggy, Apple changed the design of the original Mac for its 1984 release.
And finally the QuickTake 200, a member of Apple's digital camera line, which launched in 1994, was killed in 1997 and still looks sweet today:
If you're looking for more cool, old Apple stuff, Shrine of Apple has built a really nice little archive with lots of photos, specs and other nerdy Apple facts. And if even that doesn't cut it for you, you're probably the target audience of "Designed by Apple in California," which you can read more about here.
And if you just want more cool stuff from around the web hit up Digg's Originals archive, which is where we keep the really good stuff.
