Apple Hits

Apple started as a computer company April 1, 1976 -- and in these 48 years, has gone from making just computers to making a number of products the masses love and clamor for year in and year out. Apple has released some of the best-selling products of all time, and has revolutionized whole industries on its own. Music, phones, computers.

iMac

   

With iMac Apple suffered quite a few flops with its computing line after Jobs was ousted from the company.After Jobs returned, that changed in 1998 when the company announced the iMac series of computers, starting with the iMac 3G.  The iMac 3G was an all-in-one personal computer, with the monitor and CPU in one system, and it was the first computer where you could actually see the inside. It included dual headphone jacks and built-in stereo speakers, and is one of the first major products that Jonathan Ive, Apple's vice president of industrial design, is credited with designing.

iPad Air

In April 2010, Apple announced the iPad, which breathed new life into an ailing tablet market that no other tech company had been able to successfully crack. According to Reuters via iSuppli, 12.9 million iPads were shipped as of Dec. 10, 2010, including 300,000 sold the first day it was available.
