Apple turns 36: A flashback of its 8 Disastrous Products


Bangalore: Apple has developed a reputation over the years, one which is stronger or almost same as the religious faith: “If Apple builds anything, it will be a success.”

The company which turned 36 on April 1st has always set a standard- for both success and failure. But if you are a person who think Apple never do wrong, then here is a list of products from Apple, which never justified the company’s name and was a complete disaster in the market.

Apple Pippin

Pippin was a multimedia platform designed by Apple in a goal to create an inexpensive computer aimed mainly at playing CD-based games and multimedia titles. It was released in 1995 for $599. While touted as a cheap computer, Pippin was actually a gaming console with not much ready-to-use software and only few titles than competitors. Hence it failed to justify the price tag and the device only sold less than 50000 pieces. It is considered to be one among worst tech products of all time.
