I've been doing a clean out and I found an original Apple clock. It's over 13 years old at least and is in mint condition in a metal apple box.
I can't find it anywhere on the internet, could anyone tell me how much it is worth or more about the product? (Is it rare or limited edition?)
Their first product was the Apple I computer, hand-built by Steve Wozniak and first demonstrated in 1976.
You'll find plenty of details about Apple's early years in this section of the Apple, Inc Wikipedia entry.
When Steve Jobs first introduced the iMac in 1998, he proclaimed that the i stood for Internet. Jobs went on to say, "i also means some other things to us" and displayed a presentation slide with the keywords:
internet
individual
instruct
inform
inspire
You can even view video of this event.
The "i" was first used on the iBook and iMac. These were produced as Steve Jobs wanted a pro and consumer model of a desktop and portable computer. This later rolled out with more products, iSight, iPod, iPhone, iPad.
Yes the products are trademarked, but using an "i" itself before a product is not trademarked and it cannot be. Here is Apple's trademark list
