About This Quiz
Since 1976, Apple has been delivering the very best in home technology to the masses. From the Apple II to the iPhone XR and beyond, people love Apple products, and buying them as they are released gives you some form of elite status in the Apple community. The best part about Apple products is that you don't have to be a computer genius to run them. As a matter of fact, in the 1990s, this was how they got so much recognition. You simply opened the computer box, plugged the computer into the wall, plugged the internet wire into your phone jack, and you were surfing the web. It was much easier than connecting a monitor to a tower, then connecting speakers, and wires and wires and wires until you reached the point where you just wanted to throw away your PC. Of course, Apple's technology has gotten even easier to work with over the years, and things have changed quite a bit since the Apple II made its appearance.
You may consider yourself an Apple fanatic, and if you do, this quiz is right up your alley. See if you can name more than 30 of these Apple products just by looking at an image.
