Timeline of Apple Macintosh models
Encyclopedia
This timeline of Macintosh models lists all major types of Macintosh computers produced by Apple Computer
in order of introduction date. Macintosh Performa
models were often physically identical to other models, in which case they are omitted in favor of the identical twin. Also not listed are model numbers that identify software bundles. For example, the Performa 6115CD and 6116CD differed only in software and were identical to the Power Macintosh 6100
, so only the 6100 is listed below. The Apple Network Server
and Apple Lisa
are included, as they filled high-end niches of the Macintosh line despite not directly running Mac OS.
*The Apple Network Server is technically not a Macintosh, but is included here for completeness.
