The Apple G4 Cube launch | Techday, July 19th
On this TECHDAY in history, on July 19th 2000, Apple introduced a new product, the G4 “Cube” Power Macintosh. This computer, at the time of its release, was one of the smallest computers ever made. Despite being called a commercial failure, this product has become a small but significant part of history. That’s mainly because it found a small dedicated audience and because its advantages have been used for inspiration for other Apple products.
The G4 Cube was well-received by critics and consumers alike, who praised its unique design, powerful hardware, and smooth performance. However, the G4 Cube’s high price tag and limited expansion options proved to be major drawbacks, and sales were not as strong as Apple had hoped.
Despite its limited success, the G4 Cube had a lasting impact on the industry, influencing the design of other computers, and it became a cult classic among Apple enthusiasts. On July 7, 2001, Apple discontinued the G4 Cube, citing low sales. The cube was considered as one of the most ambitious and innovative product of the company, but unfortunately it was a commercial failure.
