iMac G3
Bondi Blue/Flavors
All-in-Ones1998Common
The machine that saved Apple. When Steve Jobs returned in 1997, the company had 90 days of operating cash remaining. The Bondi Blue iMac launched in 1998 at $1,299, eliminated the floppy drive before anyone thought that was possible, and sold 800,000 units in its first 139 days — the best-selling Mac to that point. Translucent candy-colored plastic rewrote what a computer was allowed to look like. 'There is no step 3' became the benchmark for product simplicity.
