Which products reflect Apple's innovation?
1. iPod

Although Apple introduced its personal music player as early as 21, it was not an MP3 music player, but an iPod that had a great impact on the world since then. It is not only beautiful, but also has a unique operation mode and large storage space. Although the iPod can only store 1 songs when it was first introduced, the function that users can create playlists with the iPod makes people feel revolutionary. Therefore, in a sense, Apple has started a revolutionary wave of digital music.

iPod is one of the most successful multimedia playback devices in history, and it also marks the transformation of Apple from a simple computer company to a mobile media device. Later models of iPod began to support users to browse photos and watch videos, and even allowed users to download applications and games with iPod. Apple's positioning of the iPod is to provide users with a multimedia user experience.

from 21 to now, iPod has been derived from classic, Video, Mini, Nano, Shuffle, Touch and other models.

2. Graphical User Interface

In p>1984, Apple's research team in Palo Alto successfully developed the first business computer Macintosh with graphical user interface. At that time, when the Macintosh was launched, coupled with Federico's famous advertising campaign, the Macintosh directly swept the computer that needed to enter the command prompt at that time, making the computer enter the homes of ordinary people from the science laboratory. It is no exaggeration to say that Macintosh has opened a new chapter in the history of computer development. Since then, Mac has become the name of Apple's personal computer.

3. iMac

The first iMac was launched in 1998, marking the rise of Apple as a giant in science and technology. Under the guidance of chief designer Jonny Ive, Apple abandoned the traditional concept of computer design. The first iMac is a translucent and interesting machine, and its color is "Band-Aid Blue". Now the outside world is increasingly praising Apple's pursuit of perfect shape design. In fact, since the launch of iMac, Apple has always adhered to this design concept.

Now iMac series has been leading the forefront in the field of computer design, with more and more products and higher recognition from users. However, the G4 display of iMac series has subverted the traditional computer shape design concept.

4. iTunes

At first, iTunes was just an application of Apple's personal music player in the iPod series, but gradually, iTunes began to play the role of online paid music mall. In the third year after the opening of iTunes Mall, more than 1 million songs have been downloaded. ITunes not only changed users' habit of obtaining music, but also had a great impact on traditional audio-visual products.

5. Mac OS

Although the sales volume of Microsoft's Windows series operating system is far superior to Apple's Mac series operating system, critics have always criticized Microsoft's Windows series operating system for not having the innovation and advantages of apple's desktop software. Apple's Mac series operating system was first introduced to the market in 21, and it is still the most advanced operating system in the field of computer operating system. Moreover, Mac series operating system is loved by users because of its classic design concept and easy-to-use interface.

6. iPhone mobile phone

iPhone has always been one of the most anticipated and favorite Apple products for Apple fans. This touch screen and smart phone perfectly integrate various functions such as browser, music player, video player, and answering and calling. The first iPhone entered the market in 27. Although it was equipped with two cameras, it did not have the ability to cut and paste information. As soon as the first iPhone was born, it quickly made headlines in major media. The reason why the first iPhone can attract great attention is largely because of its beautiful shape design, simple and easy-to-use features, and it has great development potential.

With the launch of the App Store, iPhone users can easily download other software, games and other applications. So far, there are more than 1.5 million downloadable applications on the App Store, and many companies have started to follow Apple closely, including BlackBerry, Nokia and Microsoft, which have launched their own digital stores.

iPhone may not be the most technologically advanced mobile phone in the market, but it is definitely the most fashionable mobile phone in the mobile phone market.

7. Newton

Actually, before the iPhone, Steve Jobs paid more attention to Newton, which is a personal PDA. From the commercial point of view, Newton was a failure of Apple. It was made by Sharp in 1993, and was forced to stop production in 1997 because of the small market demand. Newton only survived in the market for about four years. But Newton is still a classic that many Apple fans miss. Because of its concise user interface and high-performance handwriting recognition system.

But it has always been thought that Apple will use Newton's handwriting system on the future "iTablet" tablet, which is a rebirth of Newton from a spiritual point of view.

8. Apple II

The Apple II era began in 1977 and ended in 1993. This is Apple's most popular computer, especially welcomed by American schools, and it is also the first microcomputer to spread into people's homes.

Since it was first released at the West Coast Computer Show in 1977, Apple II has quickly become a successful personal computer. By October 15, 1993, Apple II was removed from the production line, and the sales volume of Apple II was estimated to be between 5 million and 6 million.

9. Keynotes

Apple successfully turned its product exhibition into an art exhibition. Jobs himself was a detail-oriented and perfectionist. Before the release of keynote software, the presentation process will be studied again and again to ensure that every participant can get a perfect experience. Jobs is also a master of suspense, and always introduces the most important products to the audience at the last moment of the press conference. The most famous mantra of Apple's most successful CEO is "One more thing ...". This also became a signal that Jobs wanted to show off new products.

When Jobs was unable to attend the keynote conference due to health reasons, other Apple executives presided over the conference. I have to admit, they really didn't bring the excitement and enthusiasm of Jobs to the audience.

Now that Jobs is gone, Apple's product exhibition is not as worth looking forward to as before.

1. MacBook Air

On January 16th, 28, Jobs introduced the MacBook Air, which is known as the "thinnest notebook in the world". When Jobs took out the MacBook Air from the envelope, analysts and consumers were salivating at this ultra-light, ultra-thin, ultra-portable 13.3-inch notebook with a full keyboard.

the thinnest part of the p>MacBook Air notebook is only .16 inches, that is, .4cm, and the thickest part is only .8 inches, that is, 1.94cm. , equipped with Mac OS X operating system, and the design is very attractive. Although the price is more than $1,, compared with the relatively cheap ASUS Eee PC, Apple is obviously better.
