A researcher and Apple fan created an original gift for the Mac’s birthday!
In 2024, Apple presented a device that promises to change its history and at the same time celebrated the 40th anniversary of the one who started it all. For now, we will focus on the second.
The anniversary of Apple’s Mac is not an event that can go unnoticed, and as when it comes to a loved one, congratulations and tributes come from everywhere. And among the most original it counts a retro-style website with a gallery of all Apple Mac models.
Nostalgic creation is attributed to Jonathan Zufi, author of the book ICONIC: A Photographic Tribute to Apple Innovation and includes photos from the book as well as Mac advertising videos.
An Apple fan created a special gift for the Mac’s birthday
The Mac40th.com site is essential in its function. Honor all Mac models. Thus, the main page traces a brief history of the Macintosh presented in 1984 and presents its objective of present a gallery created with photographs taken during the work of creating the ICONIC coffee table book: a photographic tribute to Apple innovationwith all Macintosh desktops and laptops.
The site also includes photographs by Kevin Taylor, Forest McMullin, Carl Berkeley and others (including videos) that I have collected over the past 14 years.
The site developer recommends browsing following a continuous stream of random Macs; with which you will only have to Click “Show Me More Mac” and explore each image.
A well-deserved tribute
He Macintosh was born as a cheaper, easier-to-use alternative to Apple’s Lisa computer, with a unique and original graphic interface, icons and mouse.
Since then, Apple has developed and launched hundreds of products compatible with the Macintosh lineculminating in the Mac’s transition to Apple Silicon, which made Apple computers increasingly powerful and offering greater and greater performance and efficiency.
Yes evolution is not nearly over. In the words of Molly Anderson, head of design at Apple: “There is certainly the possibility of a big revolution in the future.”
