Apple’s iPhone and iPad run on which operating system?
- macOS
- Linux
- iOS

Apple’s iPhones and iPads run on iOS. It’s known to be one of the most secure mobile operating systems in existence, and offers a bunch of built-in proprietary features (like AirPlay, AirDrop, iMessage, FaceTime and more) to make sharing and enjoying content easy. iOS has been revamped to make older iPhones noticeably faster in its 12th iteration.
Doing what near your Mac could void its warranty?
- Typing
- Breathing
- Snoring
- Smoking
Steve Jobs was not a fan of smoking. He allegedly believed that cigarette smoke could damage
a Mac’s components (and that smoking near an Apple computer should void its warranty for good). It was noted in email exchanges, provided by
Consumerist, that at least two smokers have been denied Apple repair services. Apple states cigarette smoke residue is a biohazard and could harm its technicians, although Apple’s hardware warranty never mentions this.
This was the first iPhone to feature Apple’s fingerprint authentication system known as Touch ID.
- iPhone 3GS
- iPhone 5s
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone 9
It wasn’t until Apple released the 5s that we were introduced to an iPhone with a built-in fingerprint scanner. Apple’s iPhone X, XR, XS and XS Max have scrapped this popular feature and replaced it with Face ID, which has proven to be even more secure.
Apple’s first battery powered laptop was called what?
- Lenovo ThinkPad
- Microsoft Surface
- Macintosh Portable
- MacBook Air
Apple’s first battery-powered laptop was called the Macintosh Portable. It was released in 1989 and loved by critics, but wasn’t much of a success in terms of sales. Adjusted for inflation, a new Macintosh Portable would cost over $14,000 USD today. Its hard drive featured only 40 megabytes of storage space.
In which American state was Apple’s most famous co-founder, Steve Jobs, born and raised?

Apple Music officially launched in what year?

Apple’s renown iPod was first released in what year?
The first iPod was released in October 2001 – only eight months after the first version of iTunes for Mac launched. The iPod touch is the only iPod model still in production today. Although an updated iPod touch with Face ID is rumored to be in development.
This was the only iPod model to be released without a display.
- iPod Shuffle
- iPod Classic
- iPod nano
- iPod touch
The iPod Shuffle never featured a display. It was quirky and fun at the time, simply because users couldn’t see which song was coming next (unless they turned off shuffle, but where’s the fun in that?) Ultimately, it wasn’t for everyone. Models like the iPod nano and iPod touch were significantly more successful than the Shuffle. The 4th and final generation iPod Shuffle was discontinued July 27, 2017.

- $17,999.00
- $42,000.00
The Apple 1 sold for a devilish $666 USD and change. Adjusted for inflation, that would equal roughly $2,935 in 2018. Its CPU ran at only 1MHz; nearly incomprehensible by today’s power and speed standards.
