iMac throwback: Apple’s candy-colored history, from 1999 to 2021
Apple has unveiled a new line of iMacs in seven beautiful tones, hearkening back to the early fruit-themed iMacs. This photo comparison shows how much the new models owe to the classic 1999 version.

Hello, new iMacs! Check out the new colorful designs, and then we’ll take a look back at the splashes of color Apple first brought to the 1999 iMacs, following the computer’s debut in 1998 with just a single color.

From left to right: green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue and silver.

This is called pink on Apple’s website. To me it feels a bit more… tomato? The two-tone nature of these designs makes them a little trickier to name, no doubt.

Complete with a desktop background to match!

The back and rim are done in a darker tone, while the front, the keyboard and the stand appear to be a lighter shade. The colors are named after how they appear on the lighter front panel, hence the red version is called “pink.”

These cheerful colors are just what the doctor ordered for 2021.

You can get a Magic Mouse to match your new iMac.

And don’t forget the Trackpad. No, you can’t buy these separately, yet.

The very first iMac was introduced in 1998 in Bondi blue, a color named after Bondi Beach, a popular surfing spot… get it? ‘Cause you can surf the web on this thing.

On Jan.
5, 1999, Apple’s Steve Jobs (interim CEO at the time) introduced five new colors of the iMac at MacWorld in San Francisco.

The five new colors were fruit-themed: blueberry, grape, tangerine, lime and strawberry.

“Collect all five?” One was definitely enough for the average computer user in the late ’90s. Ads for the computers had text such as “No Artificial Colors” and “iCandy.”

Here’s a grape-colored iMac DV (for “digital video”).

Here they are for sale in Japan. Keep in mind this was a few years before Apple launched its own stores.

Here you can see the front, back and side views of the blueberry model. It’s amazing how much more they can fit in a ridiculously thin form these days compared with the early computers.

Members of the media photographed and filmed the new Apple Computer iMac Special Edition after Apple interim CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs introduced it in Cupertino, California, on Oct. 5, 1999. These days you would be lost in a sea of hundreds of journalists all trying to get that shot.

The Special Edition featured a clear “graphite” enclosure that was glossy and translucent instead of the hazier colored plastic of the other colors.

Apple unveiled another handful of new iMac colors on July 19, 2000. From left to right these are: indigo, ruby, sage, graphite and snow. (That followed an October 1999 update). The machine was credited with helping Apple rebound from years of declining market share.

Indigo.

The color for this one’s called snow.
I guess Apple had to have something for the anti-color minimalist of the early aughts.

Ah, sage. Gosh, this looks like a familiar shade, doesn’t it? Reminds me of the recent iPhones. Everything old is new again!

Ruby and sage were later replaced with two limited-edition designs including this one, blue dalmation.

This flower power pattern was the other limited-edition design.
Apple gets nostalgic and brings back colorful options to the iMac

Remember those classic iMacs with bulbous, colorful backs? Well, Apple just announced what amounts to the 2021 version of those classics.
The new, super thin desktop will be available in seven colors: green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and silver.
The tech giant dropped the news during Tuesday’s Apple event, the first of 2021.

The new iMacs reminded lots of folks of those old iMacs that donned middle-school computer labs all over the country (if you were lucky).

If customers want to get colorful with their new computer, they can also color-match one of three Magic Keyboard models to pair with the iMac, along with a color-matched mouse.

The new iMac will be the first to feature Apple’s M1 chip, which is made in-house.
“M1 is a gigantic leap forward for the Mac, and today we’re excited to introduce the all-new iMac, the first Mac designed around the breakthrough M1 chip,” Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing said in a statement(opens in a new tab).
“With its striking design in seven stunning colors, its immersive 4.5K Retina display, the best camera, mics, and speakers ever in a Mac, and Touch ID, combined with the amazing performance of M1 and the power of macOS Big Sur, the new iMac takes everything people love about iMac to an entirely new level.”
As Joswiak noted, along with the new colors, the new iMac has an improved webcam, speaker system, and display, among other features.
Pricing starts at $1,299 and they’ll go on sale April 30.
