To offset this issue, Apple sold 1mb, 2mb and 4mb flashcards you can plug into the Newton for additional storage space, ironically a feature it does not offer on its iPhone or iPad today. User space was limited on the Newton with users only getting around 140 kb in user storage, This amount is even more laughable than the 8 GB iPhone Apple used to sell. Users of the Newton could load additional programs on the Newton by linking it up to a Mac, though this feature was limited at launch. The goal was a computer that you could slip into your pocket and take on the go, theoretically. With the Newton, Apple’s intent was to create an entirely new class of computers.

Before this record streak of successful products, Apple put out a revolutionary product, that didn’t do well in the marketplace. You probably don’t think about the Homepod, but hey everyone can’t bat 1000 right? Given Apple’s record of successful products, we can forgive them for the occasional flub. When one thinks of Apple and their products, you think of revolutionary products like the iPod, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, Macs and airpods.
