I'm pretty sure it was also the case with windows where 1.0's startup really just sounded like a mixture of a foghorn and something grinding together, but it just evolved into what we know today. Makes sense for Apple to just keep the same tone though, heck, it's probably even a classic for some.

    Who else misses when Steve jobs was still alive and running apple, Tim nook makes iPhones weak on purpose so that when you take your phone to get repaired at the Apple store they tell you that a cracked screen is beyond repair and you're going to have to get the new iPhone, even nook himself said that iPhones are weaker then last years model.

    Mistakes:
    The new mac startups in this video were just reuses of the iMac G3 Startup. Color Classic 2 is also not included, so it's not "ALL".
    Correction:
    The newer macs have the startup sound slightly pitched down. Color Classic 2 should be added.

    The beige G3 does not have the same chime as the blue and white G3.

    Macintosh IIfx startup sound is more drawn out & longer. That’s not the actual startup sound in the video.

    Wow! Plus, it's chronological, so no 1993-1995-1994-1993-1995 thingy you can see in others
