Description from the seller

Set of Three Original Vintage Apple Advertisements – Macintosh, Power Mac G4 Cube & iMac G4 (Early 1980s–2000s)

>> Rare Collectible Print Ads – Ideal for Framing – Authentic Apple Marketing History

Offered here is a beautiful trio of original Apple print advertisements, spanning three distinct eras of Apple design and innovation. These authentic ads are not reprints; they are original period publications, making them highly desirable for collectors, designers, and Apple enthusiasts.

Included in this set:

1. “Honey, I shrunk the supercomputer.” – Power Mac G4 Cube (2000)

This striking full-page spread showcases one of Apple’s most iconic cult-classic machines: the Power Mac G4 Cube. Designed by Jony Ive and celebrated as a museum-worthy piece of industrial design, the Cube was marketed as a compact “supercomputer” in a stunning acrylic shell.

The ad highlights:

– The floating acrylic Cube
– Harman Kardon transparent speakers
– Apple Pro Keyboard and Pro Mouse
– The bold early-2000s “Think different.” branding

A perfect collector’s piece for fans of Apple’s design renaissance.

2. “Now that everybody can afford a Macintosh, which one should you afford?” – Early Macintosh Portfolio Ad (Mid-1980s)

A wonderfully nostalgic multi-column spread featuring the classic beige Macintosh family. This advertisement presents:

– The Macintosh 512K
– The Macintosh Plus
– The Macintosh XL (Lisa reinvented)
– Early comparisons, features, and pricing philosophy

This ad comes straight from the era when Apple aimed to bring computers “to the rest of us.” A superb piece of Apple history, documenting the shift from elite workstation to personal computer.

3. “The new iMac.” – iMac G4 / “Lamp-style iMac” (2002)

This elegant minimalist ad introduces one of Apple’s most beloved all-in-one designs: the iMac G4, with its hemispherical base and fully articulating flat-panel display.

Apple leans into simplicity here: clean typography, crisp photography, and a timeless product shot—perfect for framing.

// Why This Set Is Desirable

– Three distinct eras of Apple design (1980s, 2000, 2002)
– Ideal for framing, home studios, offices, or creative spaces
– Reflects Apple’s evolving design language, from beige Macs to transparent plastics to modern minimalism
– Original, not reprinted
– Appeals to collectors of Apple memorabilia, design enthusiasts, and vintage tech fans

This curated trio offers a mini-timeline of Apple’s evolution, blending nostalgia, iconic products, and beautifully composed advertising.

A fantastic opportunity for anyone who loves Apple’s visual and technological history.
