Some of us probably remember the Apple I. Then there was the Lisa, followed by the first Macintosh. Apple products have evolved rapidly in the last 35 years, and now Apple has become much more of a mobile company.
Mashable has put together a wonderful infographic, called “The Apple Tree.” What would Apple products look like if they were placed into a family tree? Find out after the break!

Its a nice looking graphic, but its not a family tree. A tree would indicate relationships between models, not simply yearly releases. For example the original iPod would branch off over the years into the classic, mini/nano, shuffle, touch and iPhone lines.
… really cool
Your a dolt.
Apple II+, IIe, IIc, IIGS, and Apple III not mentioned. A lot happened between 1977 and 1983.
Actually, no. He’s not. He’s exactly right; I thought the same thing as I looked at this…
It’s apple tree ;)
We’ve got a new series of MacBookPros in 2011 already
Couldn’t agree more….I thought that would be the best way to describe the “evolution” of apple products

That would be “you’re” not “your”. Unless you are trying to imply that I have “a dolt”. Normally I couldn’t care less about grammar, but when you attempt to insult me I had to say SOMETHING :D
I came here to comment exactly this.
I’m sure the AppleIII branch is lying on the ground somewhere.
This is cool.
