Lisa (1983)
Produced the first commercial computer with a graphical user interface is marketed at a price of U.S. $ 9,995 when it launches. So cheap Macintosh was launched a year later, Lisa was soon loss enthusiasts.
NeXT Computer (1989)
This is the work of Steve Jobs after being forced out of Apple. Computers are very sophisticated in his time. But just like the Apple III and Lisa, he was too expensive to be owned by mainstream users.
Puck Mouse (1998)
The iMac is the first product manufactured after Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1996 and achieved great success even though it uses a small circular mouse. Unfortunately, because the mouse is too small, the user can not distinguish the orientation of the object when held and is not visible as it is covered by the palm of the hand.This makes the mouse difficult to use.
The Cube (2000)
Small desktop computers coated with plastic casing is very nice. He won many awards from the design side, but failed in the marketplace because it is expensive. He also does not offer a functional advantage compared with the usual Mac computers. In terms of design, Apple products are legendary, unfortunately not many people who want to pay top dollar just to design it. Nevertheless, the idea followed by a Mac Mini Cube. This product is more successful in the market even though in terms of design, nothing special.
iTunes Phone (2005)
iPhone is not Apple's first mobile phone. In 2005, Apple worked with Motorola Inc.. to launch the ROKR series. As a phone, the Motorola ROKR is quite good, but as a music player, it lags far behind compared to the iPod. He can only hold 100 songs and transfer tracks from your computer is very slow. Apple was also criticized for not allowing users to download songs over the cellular network, also imposed restrictions on early-generation iPhoneusers.
Apple TV (2007)
Apple's efforts to be present in the family room done half-heartedly, unlike Apple's efforts in general. Jobs himself recently said that Apple TV is just a hobby. This product is a small box that connects to a TV and a Mac at home. A small remote allows users to play music and movies from your Mac to the TV. In addition to expensive, difficult to install and use. Movies purchased through iTunes resolution is too low and appear blurry on an HDTV. In 2010 Apple introduced the Apple TV is cheaper, better, and is designed to connect directly to the Internet
