History of Apple – line drawings and patents

Posted on 16 December, 2008 by Jimmy Liew

Harry McCracken from Technologizer dig through the patent office and gives a historical view of Apple’s 31 year product history.

Some of the major products that shaped Apple’s history is there – the original Mac, original iMac, the iPod disguised as just a Media Player, Multi-Touch Surface Controller that’s in all iPhone to name a few.

But there are some whimsical patents like this Media Player System that showed a skier sharing music from his iPod to other skiers around him – maybe Microsoft get their Zune squirting from this.

One thing for sure – these drawings are probably done by some eight-year old kid so that they are as inaccurate as possible without giving too much away. Thankfully the products that come out in the market aren’t designed that way.
