The computer flop that set the course for Apple

Before there was an iPhone, iMac or Macintosh, Apple had the Lisa computer.

The Lisa computer – which stands for Local Integrated Software Architecture, but which was also named after Steve Jobs’ eldest daughter – was a flop when it released in 1983 because of its astronomical price of US$10,000 (NZ$14,080), or US$24,700 when adjusted for inflation.

But in the grand scheme of Apple’s history, the Lisa computer’s software laid the groundwork for what was to be the macOS operating system.

Sometime this year, Apple fans will be able to relive the early days of Apple â€“ back when it was still a startup in Cupertino, California led by Jobs and Steve Wozniak, thanks to Silicon Valley’s Computer History Museum.

Could Apple’s iPhone battery programme mean people upgrade less often?

Apple’s announcement that it’s going to reduce the price to replace some iPhone batteries gives those holding on to older phones a cheaper way to make them last longer – and adds a little nuance to the debate over whether to upgrade or not.
