History

Announced in January 1999, the iMac Rev. C was available in 5 fascinating new colors: Blueberry, Strawberry, Lime, Tangerine, and Grape. Essentially a speed bump over the original iMac, the Rev. C lacked both the mysterious "mezzanine" slot and the IRDA port, which reduced its price to $1,199 USD. In April, Apple replaced the Rev. C with the iMac Rev. D, increasing the processor speed to 333 MHz. All other specifications remained unchanged.

Trivia

• The 1999 iMac Rev. C was available in as many as 5 vibrant colors (Blueberry, Strawberry, Lime, Tangerine, and Grape) that made the computer a true colorful design object on the desk. • The mysterious "mezzanine" slot and the IRDA port were eliminated in the Rev. C to reduce the price to just $1199, demonstrating how Apple balanced innovation and accessibility. • Just 4 months after the launch of the Rev. C, Apple introduced the Rev. D with the processor increased to 333 MHz, keeping the other specs unchanged in what was a true incremental evolution.
