Extreme nitpick time
I’m pretty sure (and Mactracker seems to confirm) that FireWire debuted in the blue and white Power Mac G3 a few months before it appeared in any iMacs. The original iMac models definitely didn’t have it. The quote doesn’t exactly claim that the iMac was the first Apple product with FireWire, but it could easily be construed that way!
The original iMac pioneered many industry firsts such as USB, FireWire, and quiet fan-less operation
