Steve Jobs revitalized Apple with iMac launch

In May 1998, Steve Jobs announced Apple was back on track, introducing the internet-focused iMac. This marked a significant turnaround for the company, which Jobs had returned to lead the previous year. The iMac was designed to be a major product, and Jobs's confidence proved accurate. His return to Apple after being ousted was a pivotal moment, leading to a period of innovation and product development that redefined the company's trajectory and solidified its place in the tech industry.
