MacRumors Turns 24 Today: Reflecting on Apple's Major Announcements
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
- MacBook Pro on January 10, 2006
- Apple TV on January 9, 2007
- iPhone on January 9, 2007
- MacBook Air on January 15, 2008
- 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
