6.Apple back on track (1998-2001)
Steve Jobs quickly gave confidence back to the Apple community.The company launched a revolutionary marketing campaign around a new slogan:Think Different,spreading the idea that people who used Macs were dreamers who could change the world.As the Apple brand grew stronger,the company launched a couple of new successful products,the Power Mac G3 and the PowerBook.Six months after he had come back,Steve Jobs had led the company to profitability.
Yet Apple’s resurgence really came a little later,when Steve introduced a new,amazing consumer desktop computer:iMac.Introduced in May 1998,it was Apple’s first really innovative product basically since the original Macintosh in 1984.The iMac’s stunning translucent design blew away the whole personal computer industry,which had failed to produce anything but black or beige boxes for over a decade.Moreover,iMac was a hot seller,and it was essential in bringing back tons of developers to the Mac platform.Design innovations continued throughout 1998 and 1999 with the colored iMacs and iBook,Apple’s consumer notebook.After three years in charge,Steve Jobs had brought Apple
back to greatness.That’s why he finally accepted to become full-time CEO of Apple in January 2000 — the first time one man became CEO of two public companies at the same time.
Still,the very reason Steve Jobs was brought back to Apple had not yet materialize — it was to bring NeXT’s software technology to the Mac platform.This eventually happened in early 2001,as Apple released the first version of its breakthrough operating system,Mac OS X.Mac OS X was really NeXTSTEP with a Mac facade.But it turned out an essential asset to Apple as the company developed breakthrough applications for its Macs as part of the digital hub strategy.
The digital hub strategy was unveiled by Steve Jobs at Macworld San Francisco in January 2001.It was a vision for the future of the personal computer.Although many analysts and self-appointed experts were proclaiming PCs would disappear within a couple of years to be replaced by Internet terminals,Apple believed they would evolve into digital centers or hubs for our new digital lifestyles.In other words,the PC would become the centerpiece of our new lives filled with digital cameras and camcorders,MP3 players,smart phones and other digital devices.The digital hub strategy led Apple to develop a suite of applications designed to manage our new lifestyle,the so-called iApps:iMovie (1999),iTunes (2001),iDVD (2001),iPhoto (2002),iCal and iSync (2002),GarageBand (2004) and finally iWeb
(2006).The iApps were a strategic move in Apple’s greater plan to gain market share over the PC,as there was simply no equivalent solution on the Windows platform.Other moves included an aggressive ad campaign (Switchers) and the start of Apple’s retail operations in mid-2001.
