The price and the availability of education software led to the Classic's popularity in education. The Classic is an adaptation of Jerry Manock's and Terry Oyama's 1984 Macintosh 128K industrial design, as had been the earlier Macintosh SE. Instead, it has a memory expansion/ FPU slot. Unlike the Macintosh SE/30 and other compact Macs before it, the Classic does not have an internal Processor Direct Slot, making it the first non-expandable desktop Macintosh since the Macintosh Plus.

It was up to 25 percent faster than the Plus and included an Apple SuperDrive 3.5-inch (9 cm) floppy disk drive as standard. Nevertheless, the Classic featured several improvements over the aging Macintosh Plus, which it replaced as Apple's low-end Mac computer. But, it ensured compatibility with the Mac's by-then healthy software base as well as enabled it to fit the lower price Apple intended for it.

Apple's decision to not update the Classic with newer technology such as a newer CPU, higher RAM capacity or color display resulted in criticism from reviewers, with Macworld describing it as having "nothing to gloat about beyond its low price" and "unexceptional". The system specifications of the Classic are very similar to its predecessors, with the same 9-inch (23 cm) monochrome CRT display, 512 × 342 pixel resolution, and 4 megabyte (MB) memory limit of the older Macintosh computers. Production of the Classic was prompted by the success of the Original Macintosh, then the Macintosh Plus and finally the Macintosh SE. It was the first Macintosh to sell for less than US$1,000. The Macintosh Classic was a personal computer designed, manufactured and sold by Apple Computer, Inc.

To understand just how far Apple has skewed its SKUs, we decided to look at one of the biggest differentiators between devices: the screen size and resolution of every product you can buy right now.Ĥ-inch iPhone SE: 1136-by-640-pixel (326 ppi)Ĥ.7-inch iPhone 6 & 6S: 1334-by-750-pixel (326 ppi)ĥ.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus & 6S Plus: 1920x1080 (401 ppi)ħ.9-inch iPad Mini 2: 2048x1536 (326 ppi)ħ.9-inch iPad Mini 4: 2048x1536 (326 ppi)ġ1.6-inch MacBook Air: 1366x768 (135 ppi)ġ2-inch MacBook with Retina display: 2304x1440 (226 ppi)ġ3.3-inch MacBook Air: 1440x900 (127 ppi)ġ3.3-inch MacBook Pro: 1280x800 (113 ppi)ġ3.3-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display: 2560x1600 (227 ppi)ġ5.4-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display: 2880x1800 (220 ppi)Ģ1.5-inch iMac with Retina 4K display: 4096x2304 (219 ppi)Ģ7-inch iMac with Retina 5K display: 5120x2880 (218 ppi)Ģ7-inch Apple Thunderbolt display: 2560x1440 (109 ppi)Īnd that's not even counting the seemingly endless configurations you can choose from on each one of these models. But there's a valid point behind what, on the surface, seems like typical knee-jerk complaining. Those are just a few there are many, many more. (For the youths: Apple had an infamously baroque product lineup 20 years ago astoundingly, they've replicated that complexity.) The first thing Jobs did when re-taking control of Apple was killing the byzantine product lineup. So you can imagine how Twitter handled today's iterative announcements of the iPhone SE and the 9.7-inch iPad Pro:įrom where I'm sitting, Apple under Tim Cook has ruined Steve Jobs' 'simple' lineup and made it confusing AS HELL to buy a device. Steve Jobs was often praised for returning simplicity to Apple's product lineup, and Jony Ive has practically written epistles about the topic.
