Description

The first iMac, introduced on May 7, 1998, was a groundbreaking all-in-one computer designed by Jony Ive that stunned the industry with its translucent, colorful plastic case. It represented the first major new product since Steve Jobs returned to Apple and was designed to make internet access simple for home users. The iMac eschewed legacy technologies like the floppy disk drive and became an early adopter of USB, ultimately selling over six million units and becoming the hit product Apple desperately needed.
