Apple's biggest failures were Apple Lisa, Macintosh portable, Macintosh TV, and Pippin.
Why did these products failed? Let's talk about the first one, Apple Lisa, It costs $9,995 and this price set was in 1983. In today's dollars, the price would be equivalent to $21 ,OHO. It is incredibly expensive for a computer. Secondly, Macintosh portable, the 16-pound device was too much weight to carry and then it was replaced by Powerboat.
Thirdly, Macintosh TV, let's say that it was a weird combination between computer and TV.It wasn't good at neither TV nor computer. The last product was Pippin; it is a game console with less than 20 games available. A crawling processor loaded games at a snail's pace. By that time, users would rather choose Sony Plantation and Nintendo 64. 2.

I believe that there are some principles of Apple are presented as follows 1.Don't follow your customers; lead them. 2. Temper engineer with art.
3. Focus on the few to sell many. 4. Be your own toughest critics. (CBS-BEEN by Chris Morrison I August 10, 2009 "Four Principles of Apple's Successes http://www. Cobwebs.
