25 years ago, Apple introduced the iMac, which showed how computers can also be made: simple, stylish and user-friendly. However, the latter did not apply to expandability: professionals wrinkled their noses at the brightly colored design and the lack of interfaces – in 1998 computers were usually desktop or tower devices that were expanded independently.

Many users who had never dealt with computers before liked the easy access to the Internet and they accessed it in large numbers. Thus, the iMac developed into a bestseller and not only saved the previously crisis-ridden Apple company, but also the “i” as a marketing and product name strategy made its way and became, alongside the apple logo, the most important identification feature for the Cupertino-based company.
Various other variants followed the first iMac and Apple still builds the all-in-one computer to this day, even if it has lost some of its relevance over time due to laptops and tablets. Reason enough for us to send you into the well-deserved weekend with our Friday quiz.
