To celebrate the Macintosh’s 40th birthday, the author of a celebrated book about Macs created a website featuring photos of every Mac ever released.
Jonathan Zufi, author of Iconic: A Photographic Tribute To Apple Innovation, just launched Mac40th.com, a new website with more than 1,000 photos of every Mac, ever.
“So many people have come across a Mac at some point in their lives,” Zufi said in an email to Cult of Mac. “Mac40th.com is about giving fans a fun trip down memory lane with the hope that the Macintosh’s 40th anniversary evokes happy memories for anyone who has ever had an experience with an Apple Mac.”

The site features high-quality photos of every desktop and notebook Mac since the original 128K Macintosh was released in 1984.
Mac40th.com employs an unusual navigation scheme. The site displays photos and videos of Macs in a random stream that keeps growing when visitors hit the “Show me more Macs” button.
The photos go through to the latest Mac Pro, iMac and MacBook models. It also incudes hundreds of videos produced by Apple during from the ’80s onward.

For years, Zufi ran the Shrine of Apple, an online museum with the slightly obsessive goal of documenting every single Apple product ever produced — and as beautifully as possible.
In 2013, Zufi published Iconic, a big coffee table book with pictures of decades Apple products.
“During the course of the project, I took over 150,000 photos of just about every product Apple has made,” Zufi said. “Mac40th.com includes many additional photos taken during that time that never made it into the book.”
Iconic is now in its third printing. See more at Iconic Book.
