i think i first started visiting here around 2008. not an OG but been visiting for a long time.

my first apple product was the original iPod Nano but I don't think i came here back then. my first Mac was the late '08 unibody macbook redesign and my first iPhone was the 3G so i guess that's about when I started coming here. i remember when the iPad launched and it was just a big iPod touch. antenna-gate on here was fun.

I think I found this place in 2005. Lurked for a long time.

First Apple Product was a PowerMac 6100 that was given to me in 2002.

It was simply meant to be.

I love reading the iPod comments, wow! Same with the Apple TV ones, amazing how excited people were about 720p video quality...

Happy birthday MR Here's to another 24 years of arguing about whether or not Steve Jobs would approve of every decision Apple makes 😂

 

[klasma]

Wow, finally a thread without clickbait

I actually wondered for a moment if Apple made some major announcements today.

Happy Hatch Day MR!

Tripped-back to the iPhone Announcement thread, and wondered if WildCowboy's pre-gnostication had been revisited...

 

[Rainshadow]

The comments on the iPod launch aged well…. 🤣🤣🤣

That’s the first thing I looked at too. I was blown away by the overwhelming negativity on there. Worse than it even is now. Cool to see.

By August 2024 would be my 24th year of being a Mac user.

By end of user I got my 0.256Mbps ADSL internet account after 4 years on 0.0288-0.056Mbps dial-up.

Happy birthday, MacRumors--from someone who has been here for 22 of your 24 years.

Wow--that makes me feel old...

 

[satchmo]

MacRumors established on the same date Steve died.

That's some weird coincidence.

 

[Henrikr]

Congrats!

 

[antiprotest]

Happy birthday.

Happy 24th Birthday to MacRumors!

MacRumors was founded by doctor-turned-blogger Arnold Kim on February 24, 2000, while he was earning his medical degree, and it has since become the world's most popular Apple-focused news website. Fittingly, we share our birthday with Apple's co-founder Steve Jobs, who would have turned 69 years old today.

MacRumors has been around for many major Apple product announcements, including the iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and more:

• iPod on October 23, 2001
• Apple TV on January 9, 2007
• iPhone on January 9, 2007
• iPad on January 27, 2010
• Apple Watch on September 9, 2014
• AirPods on September 7, 2016
• HomePod on June 5, 2017
• Apple Vision Pro on June 5, 2023

(We've had such a long run that some of the images are broken in these!)

Thank you to all of our readers, volunteers, and everyone else in our community. We look forward to continuing to share the latest Apple news and rumors.
