In August 1998, Apple put a translucent aquamarine computer on store shelves and changed the industry forever. The iMac wasn't just a product — it was a declaration. This episode traces the full story of how Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive transformed Apple from a company haemorrhaging hundreds of millions of dollars into one that could make consumers fall in love with a machine.
We start with the wreckage Jobs inherited in 1997: a bloated product line, collapsing market share, and a company that had forgotten what it stood for. His brutal simplification — four products, a clean grid, no committees — set the stage for everything that followed. Then came the design brief that changed computing: make something affordable, connected, and beautiful enough to belong in a home, not a corporate office.
Jonathan Ive, long sidelined during the Amelio years, delivered Bondi Blue — a curved, translucent, all-in-one design that looked like it had arrived from another planet. In its first six weeks, Apple sold 278,000 units. A third of buyers had never owned a computer before. Another third were Windows converts. That's design as competitive advantage in its purest form.
This episode also unpacks the 'i' prefix — what it signalled about Apple's vision for personal technology — and how the iMac laid the conceptual foundation for everything from iMovie and iTunes to the products that would eventually make Apple the most valuable company on earth.
