Apple’s 4 most sluggish products, launched shortly, were ‘dead’

Don’t look at the success of the iPhone or iPad and forget that in the past Apple also had to receive many products that failed miserably.
Apple Newton

One of the most notable features of Appel Newton is its ability to recognize handwriting. The device comes with a stylus so that the user can write on the screen and then it will convert what you write into electronic characters. Apple also created its own operating system called NewtonOS for this device. After mixed sales reactions and market feedback about the bad handwriting recognition, Steve Jobs quickly canceled the next development project for Newton in 1998. Pippin Photo: CNET Until now, many people still remember Pippin as one of the biggest failures in Apple history. In 1994, Japanese toy maker Bandai approached Apple with the idea of ​​releasing a stripped-down version of the Macintosh for gaming. Apple responded to this idea and released Pippin in 1996. Initially, this machine launched with only four games, but was appreciated for its modern Internet connection. One of the biggest problems with Pippin, though, is the hefty price tag of $599. At the time of Pippin’s launch, the Sony Playstation and Seg Saturn were the market leaders of the same class. With a lower price tag while having more games, Pippin seemed to have lost the game right from the start. A few years after its launch, the total sales of this model still stopped at 42,000 units and Steve Jobs once again canceled this project when he returned to the Apple CEO hat. Apple QuickTake Photo: CNET Launched in 1994, QuickTake was one of the first digital camera devices to be sold on the mass market. Unfortunately, it didn’t work as Apple expected. At $749, no focus, no zoom, preview screen, and memory that can only store 32 images, Apple can’t compete with other camera brands like Kodad, Canon or Fuji. QuickTake actually has three refreshes a short time later, adding a few extra features while keeping the cost down. However, all is still not enough to prevent it from ending “premature death.” MacBook Pro supports cellular connectivity You may not know, back in 2007, Apple once developed a MacBook Pro that supported cellular connectivity. Of course, this machine was never released by Apple. In 2011, such a model was unexpectedly sold on eBay. This device has a SIM slot and a strange part of the antenna mounted on the screen
