MacRumors Turns 24 Today: Reflecting on Apple's Major Announcements

[satchmo]

BTW, it's kind of fun to do a search of your very first post here on MR.

Mine was back in 2008 about some case for the iPhone 3GS.😁

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

Exactly what I was thinking. Quite lot of "this thing won't fly" 😂 Reminds me of Steve Ballmers quotes when the iphone was launched.

Congratulations, thanks for the rumors and more 😀

Happy 24th MacRumors! Though the years you have been a wonderful place to read about many topics involving Apple devices/services/development along with the lively at times discussions.

Yeh - that was a fun read.

I first heard about MacRumors when I was in training as a seasonal Mac sales associate in 2007. They told us never to visit “any rumor sites like MacRumors.” I didn't even know they existed!

Happy Birthday MacRumors. I've enjoyed using this website for many years, and I really do appreciate it. It's a part of my daily morning (and sometimes evening!) routine.

Happy 24th Birthday to MacRumors!

I registered on 9/2/2002, the same year I bought my first Mac. Thanks for all the news and rumors, MR!

You prompted me to go and take a look and wow, those were simpler times... haha

Happy Birthday!

You definitely deserve an apple pie.

I was reading this site since nearly the very beginning and made an account in 2002. I bought the first iPod and first iMac G4. I’ve always gotten gen 1 products on or shortly after release date. Yes, I have an Apple Vision Pro and it’s the best product I've had since iPhone 1. I’m 50 now… where’s the time gone?

I got scared at first for millisecond, thought the website was closing or something..

 

[spazzcat]

From the iPod forum: "iPoop... iCry. I was so hoping for something more."

This quote sums up every Apple product announcement.

I've entered the Apple world only a few days before, on Christmas 1999, with an iMac G3 as the first household computer ever while I was in grade school.
Magical times. There were lots of limitations, but still, magical times.

The comments are outstanding! The same as the AVP. Everything is awful. The end is nigh.

Congrats! 🎉

No Mac related announcement merits a mention? C'mon!

Didn’t he have a funeral for the iPad?

The comments section on these articles really show that we don't know what we want, and we really need companies like Apple, making these products for us.

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.

Literally same!~

First product: iPod classic 80GB - 2007

2008 ...Found MacRumors and was super thankful for the forum!

First Mac: MacBook Aluminum - 2008
First iPhone - iPhone 3G Black 8GB
First iPad - iPad 2 Cellular - 2011
