Apple II: La Serie di Computer che ha Definito un’Era

La serie Apple II, lanciata nel 1977 con il modello originale Apple II, è stata una delle prime famiglie di computer domestici di successo prodotte su larga scala. Progettata principalmente da Steve Wozniak e prodotta da Apple Computer (ora Apple Inc.), questa serie ha segnato un notevole avanzamento rispetto al suo predecessore, l’Apple I, grazie alla sua facilità d’uso, alle sue funzionalità e alla sua espandibilità.

Innovazione e Popolarità

L’Apple II è stato introdotto sul mercato il 10 giugno 1977 e ha continuato a essere prodotto fino al 1993, con una stima di cinque-sei milioni di unità vendute, incluse circa 1,25 milioni di modelli Apple IIGS. Quest’ultimo, aggiunto nel 1986, vantava grafiche avanzate, un processore a 16-bit e rimaneva compatibile con i modelli precedenti della serie, pur condividendo più caratteristiche con sistemi di metà anni ’80 come Atari ST, Amiga e Acorn Archimedes.

Impatto Educativo e Commerciale

Uno degli aspetti chiave del successo dell’Apple II è stato il suo impiego nel settore educativo. Apple ha commercializzato il computer con sconti per volumi e accordi di produzione che hanno favorito la sua adozione nelle scuole secondarie americane, rendendolo il primo computer ad essere utilizzato su larga scala nell’istruzione secondaria negli Stati Uniti, spodestando il Commodore PET.

Inoltre, lo sviluppo di software educativo e di business, incluso il rilascio del popolare foglio di calcolo VisiCalc nel 1979, ha reso l’Apple II particolarmente popolare tra gli utenti aziendali e le famiglie, consolidando ulteriormente la sua posizione nel mercato.

Durata e Eredità

Nonostante l’introduzione del Macintosh basato su Motorola 68000 nel 1984, la serie Apple II ha continuato a rappresentare il 85% delle vendite di hardware di Apple nel primo trimestre dell’anno fiscale 1985. Apple ha mantenuto in vendita i sistemi Apple II parallelamente al Macintosh fino alla fine della produzione del IIGS nel dicembre del 1992 e del IIe nel novembre del 1993. Il modello finale della serie, la scheda Apple IIe per Macintosh, è stato discontinuato il 15 ottobre 1993.

La serie Apple II non solo è stata una delle linee di computer domestici prodotti più a lungo, ma è anche diventata uno dei computer più riconoscibili e di successo degli anni ’80 e dei primi anni ’90, principalmente negli Stati Uniti. La sua eredità persiste come simbolo di innovazione e accessibilità nell’informatica.

In conclusione, l’Apple II non solo ha plasmato il mercato dei computer domestici, ma ha anche avuto un impatto duraturo su come la tecnologia viene utilizzata nell’educazione e nelle aziende, dimostrando il potere di un computer non solo come strumento di lavoro, ma anche come mezzo di apprendimento e svago.
