History

Announced in January 1999, the iMac Rev. C arrived in 5 new captivating colors: Blueberry, Strawberry, Lime, Tangerine, and Grape. Essentially a speed update of the original iMac, the Rev. C lacked both the mysterious "mezzanine" slot and the IRDA port, which lowered 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 technical specifications were identical.

Trivia

• The iMac Rev. D from 1999 represented a minor but significant evolution, with the processor upgraded to 333 MHz, while maintaining all other technical specifications identical to the previous version. • The vivid colors of the iMac Rev. C (Blueberry, Strawberry, Lime, Tangerine, and Grape) reflected Apple's revolutionary design philosophy, which aimed to make the computer an attractive and desirable design object for homes. • The removal of the mysterious "mezzanine" slot and the IRDA port on the Rev. C had allowed Apple to reduce the price to just $1199, making the computer more accessible to consumers compared to the original model.
