Apple Special Event August 2007: Introduction of the first aluminum iMac 

Without a doubt, Steve Jobs was the best at presenting. Miss him

I remember being an 8 year old and watching tips the day it came out... My eyes were glued... Couldn't believe how beautiful those computers were...

Only a couple of months after the iPhone announcement and Steve looks noticeably thinner here. It breaks my heart seeing how he declined from late 2007-11. I'll miss him enormously, however he left a great team at Apple.

he actually cares about price

My first Imac! I still have it and it works just fine.

"and we are lowering the price" words that won't be said ever again by Apple these days

lol the keyboard I'm using is basically the same one as they introduced in this video, 8 years ago

It's almost blasphemous that they're so quiet

0:21 Legacy Nokia phone startup sound in the background! :D

Look at that clean and differentiated lineup. Steve hasn't been dead for 7 years, little Timmy has already flushed a lot of that legacy down the toilet.

I've always loved the classic mac ad music, brings back memories when I was 9 back in 07 I saw that ad on tv, the music always stuck with me

I have a 2008 20 inch IMac I bought for $299.00 from ebay, best computer I ever got.

Crazy how technology has advanced. "1GB of Ram" lol!

Front facing cam? He basically created some type of FaceTime in 07 this man is just dope he makes things make sense

Watching this after Apple launched the M1 iMac

They still look up to date.

9 years later.... Hmm Now we are using the IPAD,IPHONE,IMAC,MACBOOK AIR,MACBOOK PRO,IPAD MINI AND MORE WELL THAT TURNED INTO A MEMORY FOR THE OLD APPLE USERS... THANKS STEVE

My in laws have this 24 inch iMac. Only last month have we not been able to upgrade it to the latest operating system. It still runs everything that they need. This includes Photoshop, Citrix and even RU-vid! Almost 10 years out of an all in one. Pretty cool

What an amazing person he was! A true inspiration for sure! Miss him so much 🖤😮‍💨

Watching this in 2013 on my 20" 2.4GHz. 3GB and Mavericks. Runs great!

I still use my 2007/08 imac as my main computer... never missed a beat!!

my family's first mac. we just ordered one the new imacs. we love it.

Watching this on my 2007 iMac during the COVID-19 Pandemic. (29/08/2020)

Typing on mine as we speak. Still going strong and still does what it should flawlessly. Just an amazing computer. If only they'd kept it going that way.

My first mac was the iMac 2007. Love it.

The first Mac I used was the G3 iMac... The second was the G5 iSight.... But my first Mac to own was THIS one. The lowest end one they show here, but still GREAT.

I'm watching this in 2013 on the 20". I run Mountain Lion with 3GB or Ram. I get a Geekbench score of 2004. Not exactly a speed demon but it runs everything well: Photoshop, Illustrator, iMovie, etc. With Leopard I had a few crashes, but now it's running better than ever. Mountain Lion is a great OS. The DVD RW did break, so I opened up the iMac, pulled the drive out and got an external for $30. One repair in 5 years. Not bad.

2007: "Our customers told us that they love our glossy displays" 2019 (Pro Display XDR): "wanna pay 400$ extra for a nanotexture coating to make the display less glossy?"

I wish the iMac got love in the same way now because it’s really one of the best ideas they had

Im using that computer right now and it's still pretty good after 5,5 years. It's better than most of 3-year old PCs.

I had one of those. But my family didn’t know about the iPhone yet.

I was 5 when then came out, I remember seeing my parents having one

Al-u-min-i-um: Al-oo-min-eeum

And I’m watching this on my $50 24” iMac 😂😂

have it- 2.4ghz 3gb ram 20" and i love it a lot.

Awesome!

The Alt Shift will work with long Press On F1-10 like for Logic Pto where every Button do differnt Functions. Tim.

I picked up an early 2008 iMac today for £30! I'm going to get 6GB of RAM in there and a 500GB SSD. Job done!

I just got one of these 2007 iMacs for cheap and I love it. Hard to beat for what I paid for it lol. Compliments well with my 2012 Macbook Pro 13.

Of course, put the audio output on the back, damn, these short headphone cables will love you

Happy Birthday

it looks much better now.

So cool

i love you steve. you will be missed.

This was a press announcement, so mostly journalists are in the audience, who tend to be quiet and "objective." In the big events, the people who cheer are usually Apple employees like, sales people, and friend of employees.

I still use my early 2008 imac with ssd and 6gig of ram using catalina, in 2020, and not upgrading for another 5 yrs at least!

Weve had the same design for 10 years now

R.I.P Steve

It still works

I'm watching this video on that iMac (:

The first Mac I used was the original from 1984. I grew up using it, and even back then I laughed in my diapers at people who were scared of Macs cos they thought they might be too complicated or something. I shook my rattle and laughed I tell you!

Geeze the bezels look smaller on this iMac than they do on new ones!

love the way he says - heres the new one - SILENCE!

Jobs makes sure that the prices set can reach the masses

Steve Jobs

1:00 - current MacBook Pro

I want one

I'm going to miss Steve saying "Screamer"

I still use this iMac as my daily computer, The only thing ive upgraded was the ram. Apple sure knows how to make a good, reliable computer. I love it!

this is the time when apple transitioned into their black and silver looking products. and i love it so far!

My first *real* Mac, it was incredible. Technically my first Mac was the 1999 iMac G3, however considering I got that in 2008 that doesn't really count :)

There's already a 24 inch model in 2021 "We made it an *expansive* 24 inches." Back in the day there was already a 24 inch model.

i love apple

great

Pop it out ...just take out 1 screw and just add memory...wow just wow....

Steve jobs use to do discounts you don’t see that at apple these days

Meanwhile another company was still going for the Big Mac.

6:46 1TB Hard Drives were really a lot back then 😂 today it's like the standard for most computers!

I have a 2010 IMacm Best computer ever!!

Hi Steve, I come from the future telling you that Apple will be selling the Mac Pro stand for $999.

I still use this model 20 inch 2.4 ghz 4 Gb ram I put a terabyte hard drive in it plus I'm running a dual boot system windows 7 ultimate and mountain lion .

0:57 was pretty funny indeed! But the answer to the question he gave himself at 7:22 $_$

Damn I remember when this design was new..

back when Apple products were reasonably priced

the movie is so good to me

Wonder what he would think of the MacBooks right now ... :(

1:00 pretty sure if you spent like 2 mins cable managing that, it would look 10x better. And what i see in that picture, is freedom. Should anything in that image fail, it can easily be replaced, even if anything internal fails. PCs, Especially custom built ones, give you the freedom to open it up, and replace any defective parts. Can you easily do that with an iMac? No, you can't. That's a deal breaker.

Back in the days when 4 GB of Ram and 1 TB of storage had been so much.

VERY FREAKING TRUE, my mum has the mid-2011 model iMac 27inch, the thing heats up like shit, I hate them personally but my mum needs it for her photography.

Heat on the outside comes from where? Sure in some cases, exterior heat caused by the internals is better... But when your macbook pro gets hot enough that touching the palm rest becomes uncomfortable, to an end user it is a bad thing. And yes, palm rest.

Reason they put up with it is you can upgrade... Cheaper. Everytime you buy an image you have to re buy a monitor you don't need

He said 'iSight camera'. Dude. This is crazy.

3:10 Once the people were screaming when the new iMac Design came out. now they look all the same...

0:56 wow that's the exact same computer i had. but without all those cables lol

Basically, better graphics, faster memory and a bigger hard drive :) ... skip to 08:30 and you'll see the difference between the two on the comparison table. Hope this helps.

This was my first Apple product.. then I switched to a 2010 MacBook Pro. Now I’m 2022 I don’t even have any computer nor a tablet, just my iPhone 13 “pro” max (I think the industry needs to retire the word “pro) and I’m probably gonna finally get a new iMac later this year

3:58 If they could in 2007 they definitley can add memory expansion slots today... and not get stuck with 8gb of memory...

A very enjoyable presentation without screaming and yelling idiots in the audience..

Steve Jobs my boi :')

I'm from Chile i can't do that the customs house's price will be amazingly high

i am watching this video on that very imac

At least the price tag includes a stand in 2007

0:55 i still have this very computer

Shop it online. Starting from $1299 :))

How do you improve a computer? Change what it's made out of from plastic to a beer can.

I miss Steve jobs

God I miss this man

Still don't know why in 21.5 500gb hard drive instead 1tb

People not even clap 🙄

That’s my Imac😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
