today,Apple CEO Tim Cook celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Mac computer on his personal Weibo."The introduction of the Mac 40 years ago changed everything, and it has disrupted innovation again and again over the years. Today's Mac series is built on decades of revolutionary innovation and is the most remarkable product in the history of personal computers."
"Happy birthday, Mac!"
40 years ago in 1984,Steve Jobs showed off the Macintosh to the outside world,and calls it "the future of computing."
To this day, the UI of the macOS system still uses the same framework-the Apple logo and function menu are in the upper left corner, and the application software is laid out on the desktop in the form of a window.
Although the Macintosh suffered a disastrous failure when it was first launched, and Jobs was kicked out of the company he founded, this did not prevent the Mac from completely changing the world and always standing at the forefront of personal computer technology and design.
In 1998, after Jobs returned to Apple,The iMacG3 was born, ushering in the multimedia era of personal computers.Ushered in the era of popularization of the Internet.
The subsequent iBook G3 released in 1999 supported Wi-Fi wireless networks for the first time; the iMac G4 in 2002 replaced the bulky CRT monitor with a thin and light LCD screen for the first time.
Until 2008,The moment Steve Jobs took out the MacBook Air from the envelope,Laptops have ushered in an era of extreme integration, thinness and lightness.
Apple also equipped the MacBook Air with a "multi-touch" touchpad, making the interactive experience of the touchpad even better than that of a mouse.
2020,Apple begins to use self-developed M series chips on Macs.While greatly improving performance, it has also achieved significant growth in market share.
