100 Apple Devices on Instagram Concludes

About 100 days ago on December 13, 2019, I started an Instagram series called 100 Apple Devices. The series consisted of one post per day of an Apple device for 100 days, posted chronologically. Each post was an original photo, and the first comment included the name of the device, a minimal (and parenthetical) amount of clarifying information, and the number in my series. For example:

Macintosh (original, 1984). 100 Apple Devices, Number 1

For the purposes of my posts, I defined an “Apple Device” as a physical object made by Apple that is self-powered and functions on its own to fulfill a particular purpose, without major dependencies on other equipment. Further, the devices I included have at least one independent power supply (AC power and/or battery) and a processor. With this definition, I considered computers, laptops, displays, music players, phones, speaker systems, and watches as “devices.”

Since I was asked more than once—yes—I own all of these devices, and I captured all the photos in the series. I began documenting my collection back in 2018 and these are photos from my Apple Collection blog. While my blog contains several photos of each device in a single blog entry, my Instagram series features just one representative photo of each selected device.

In this post, I wish to present a final image of all 100 Apple Devices in a high-resolution portrait. I offer this image under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

You may also download the original image (24 x 24 inches at 200 dpi resolution, 8MB). Feel free to print and display it if you wish!

So what’s next? Beginning tomorrow, I will present 100 Apple Accessories on Instagram!

What’s the difference between a device and an accessory, you might ask? My definition of an “Apple Accessory” is a physical object made by Apple that is dependent upon another device to fulfill its purpose. Without spoiling too many surprises, one example of an Apple Accessory is the Apple USB mouse (1998)—it is a classic Apple design and it requires a computer to fulfill its purpose. Like the Apple USB mouse, most accessories will not have a power source or processor (although there may be a few exceptions).

Since some of my Apple Accessories are obscure, I will also include a description with each item in the series. I will begin the series of accessories in 1984 with the release of the original Macintosh.

Finally, here is the complete list of the previous 100 Apple Devices series with the date the device was posted on Instagram:
