A new Apple history podcast from two Cult of Mac<\/em> contributors launched this month. In each episode of Apple Core<\/em><\/a>, hosts Graham Bower and Charlie Sorrel explore the history of a different Apple product, focusing on what we can learn from Apple\u2019s past, and what this tells us about the company\u2019s future plans.<\/p>\n

Some upcoming guests will be familiar to Cult of Mac<\/em> readers, including Leander Kahney and CultCast<\/em> host Griffin Jones.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Apple Core<\/em> co-creator, Graham Bower, explains what the show is all about<\/h2>\n

Why we created Apple Core<\/em><\/h3>\n

I love listening to podcasts when I\u2019m walking my dog. I never miss an episode of ATP<\/a><\/em>, The Talk Show<\/a><\/em> and of course, the best 30-plus-minute Apple conversation all week long, The CultCast<\/a><\/em>. I\u2019m also a big fan of history and culture podcasts, like You\u2019re Wrong About<\/a><\/em>, Decoder Ring<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and Empire<\/a><\/em>, because I love the quirky stories they uncover.<\/p>\n

So, one day, while I was waiting for my pooch to finish her business, I was struck by an idea. Why not create a podcast that combines Apple and history? I mentioned this to fellow tech writer Charlie Sorrel, and the rest is history … Or rather, a history podcast.<\/p>\n

Does the world really need another gadget podcast from two Gen-Xers?<\/h3>\n

The great thing about getting old is the memories. Decades of them. As Gen-Xers, we were using Macs long before OS X<\/a>. The first Mac I ever used was a IIfx<\/a> running System 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The years following Steve Jobs’ return to Apple in 1997<\/a> were formative for the company. That\u2019s when Jobs established the playbook that set Apple on its decades-long winning streak. Jobs even created Apple University<\/a>, which still trains senior executives on this playbook, to this day. That\u2019s why, when you\u2019ve been watching the company for as long as we have, you start to notice patterns in how it approaches problems. And those are the insights we aim to uncover in Apple Core<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The first three episodes of Apple Core<\/em> podcast are out now<\/h3>\n

Our first three episodes of the Apple Core<\/em> podcast are available right now, wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts<\/a> | Spotify<\/a> | Amazon Music<\/a> | Podcast Index<\/a> | YouTube<\/a> | more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Episode 1: AirPort<\/h4>\n

In 1999, Steve Jobs needed one more product launch to complete the four-computer matrix he introduced on his return to the company three years earlier. That product was the iBook<\/a> \u2014 a portable version of the hugely popular iMac G3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The iBook had a striking design with eye-popping colors. But what really set it apart was AirPort<\/a>, Apple\u2019s proprietary version of Wi-Fi, which ushered in the age of wireless computing. AirPort was such a revolutionary concept that Jobs wanted to prove no wires were required. So he persuaded Phil Schiller, Apple’s VP of worldwide marketing at the time, to jump from a great height while holding an iBook<\/a>\u00a0during a live keynote.<\/p>\n

Based on industry-standard Wi-Fi technology, the story of AirPort’s launch, development and eventual demise provides a valuable insight into how Apple thinks about emerging standards and adopts them in its products.<\/p>\n

Episode 2: Mac OS 8<\/h4>\n

When Steve Jobs returned to the company he cofounded in 1997, Apple was in disarray. After two failed attempts at a next-generation operating system, the Mac had been stuck on System 7 for years. \u2028\u2028The acquisition of Jobs’ company, NeXT, offered a solution, with its NeXTStep operating system, which would form the basis of Mac OS X. But that was still three years away, and the Mac platform was already on life support.<\/p>\n

Jobs needed to take action fast. So, he salvaged bits from former failed projects and retrofitted them onto the aging System 7. The result was Mac OS 8. It wasn’t a long-term solution, but it did buy his engineers the time they needed to complete Mac OS X.\u2028\u2028Mac OS 8 proved to be a smash hit<\/a>, selling 1.2 million copies in its first two weeks.<\/p>\n

The story of how this happened reveals an often overlooked side of Jobs — his ability to let go of his perfectionism and focus on what was possible, making pragmatic compromises that help to move platforms forward.<\/p>\n

Episode 3. Nike+iPod Sport Kit<\/h4>\n

Apple\u2019s interest in fitness products goes way back. In 2006, before the Apple Watch<\/a> was even a twinkle in CEO Tim Cook\u2019s eye, Steve Jobs took the stage with Nike CEO Mark Parker at an ultra-exclusive venue in New York City to announce the Nike+iPod Sport Kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With a sensor that went into special Nike running shoes, and a receiver that plugged into your iPod, Nike+iPod was a pioneering product that helped define the emerging category of fitness wearables.\u2028It set the stage for products that would follow, including Apple Health<\/a> and Apple Fitness+<\/a>. Plus, by partnering with Nike, Apple broadened the appeal of its brand, learned how to successfully roll out services, and raised its marketing game. Nike+iPod Sport Kit set a template for product launches that Apple still follows to this day.<\/p>\n
