Innovation comes from saying no to 1,000 things to

make sure we dont get on the wrong track or try to
do too much.

 iTunes
In January 2001, just as the third-generation iPod was
released, Apple launched its online music
store iTunes with 200,000 songs.
As of September 2012, the iTunes Store possesses 400
million active user accounts.
Before iTunes, music executives had failed to be
convinced about the success of an online music market.
But coupled with Apple's hugely-successful iPod
immediate success selling one million songs in its first
week
by December it had sold 25 million songs. Till date
iTune song downloads hit more than 15 billion.
several updates of iTunes, the most significant being
the introduction of film purchase and rentals in 2008.
 iPod
In October 2001 the face of the music industry was
changed forever with the launch of a small palm-
sized gadget called "the iPod".
The rectangular-shaped portable music device
had a central-scroll wheel on the front and a small
window for song selection. It could be charged
with a "docking station" and songs could be
loaded directly onto the music player from a
computer.
There had been digital music players before, but
the fresh look and simplistic usability put the
Apple player in a class of its own among portable
music devises.
Apple reported that total number of iPods sold
worldwide was more than 400 million.
 iPhone
The first iPhone was released in January 2007 to a
huge fanfare. The phone catapulted Apple ahead
of its smartphone rivals with its multi-touch
screen. A year later the iPhone 3G was released
and the App Store was launched.

In July this year App Store downloads hit 15

billion with the company

To date Apple have sold 25 million iPhones

around the world. The telephone is still gaining
popularity with avid Blackberry-user Barack
Obama, the US president, even suggesting he may
switch to the iPhone.
 iPad
The iPad - a Mac/ iPhone hybrid - was released
in 2010. Although still in its relatively early
years, the iPad has been a great success;
maintaining its market presence where other
tablet computers have faltered.
The availability of Apps on the device has been
a particular success with many newspapers and
magazines having launched versions of their
publications for the device. The portable tablet
is currently teetering on revolutionizing the
publishing industry.
To date there have been two iPad versions with
30 million units sold worldwide.
 Mac
In front of thousands of laughing delegates, a
tuxedo-clad Steve Jobs unveiled the first
Macintosh computer in January 1984. It started
as a small white box in a bag and evolved into
the waffer-thin machine it is today.
A year later he was interviewed in Playboy
explaining "something called a mouse".
The Mac evolved into two main types of Apple
computer; the iMac and MacBook. There are
now nearly 60 million Mac users around the
world.
