Simon Jary - It’s T time for Apple
By Simon Jary
Tangerine Apple is usually very particular about its colours, favouring a strict monochromatic policy ruled with an iron – or more likely a brushed aluminium – fist. From 1984 to 1990 just about every Apple product (except for its lurid logo) had to conform to the Snow White design language, which pinpointed exactly the correct tone of white or near beige the casing should be in. This was all down to Steve Jobs’ severe notion of perfect aesthetic beauty.

Andy Ihnatko - Photographic evidence
By Andy Ihnatko
I love this idea. A case that makes your iPhone look like an old-timey camera? That's an old gag. The Gizmon iCA (http://gizmon.com/) is an iPhone case that makes your phone work like an old-timey camera.

Jason Snell - The iPhone: Five years later...
By Jason Snell
Five years ago, Steve Jobs stood on stage at Macworld Expo and unveiled the iPhone.
Spotlight
Mac
Ever since its launch in 1984 Apple's Macintosh computer has revolutionised the personal computer. There's a wide choice of systems, from the tiny but fully powered Mac mini and MacBook Air, right up to the widescreen iMac and immensely powerful Mac Pro.
iPad/iPhone
Apple’s 'magical' touchscreen devices have revolutionised the mobile phone and home PC market. Putting the power of the Internet in your hand, and adding to it a breath-taking number of 'apps'.
Mac Creative
The Mac, and now the iPad, have kept Apple at the cutting edge of creative technology and ensured their popularity as creative tools for designers, musicians and film-makers worldwide.
Digital Lifestyle
With its wide range of music, photo, audio, and video products – Apple is at the heart of our increasingly digitally connected lifestyle. From the iTunes Store to the Apple TV, through to the way the iPhone and iPad integrate with our lives. Apple is at the heart of the digital lifestyle.
Apple Education
Today’s generation of students see technology as a vital part of the learning experience. The MacBook and MacBook Air are essential tools for many collage students, and with the iPad replacing textbooks and laptops across the globe Apple looks set to be at the heart of learning for years to come. Apple also uses its powerful iTunes U program to deliver podcasts, lectures, and course materials to students around the world.
Apple Business
The dominance of Windows in the business world is long over, and with its security, speed and simplicity Mac OS X is a compelling alternative to a traditional PC (especially as it has always been compatible with Microsoft Office). And with the iPad and iPhone massively infiltrating the enterprise market, it seems that Apple isn’t the business outsider it once was.
Mac software
Mac OS X has always had a wealth of powerful software packages, like Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office, as well as a vibrant smaller developer scene. And ever since Apple launched the Mac App Store things have taken on a new dimension with thousands of programs available within OS X at the click of a button.
