The first sentence states that the Apple II family was a line of 8-bit computers, but as far as I'm aware, the Apple IIgs was 16-bit; its Wiki article agrees, but also confusingly says it was "16/32-bit." I assume this article currently says 8-bit for a reason, so I'm not comfortable leaping in to change it; if someone that knows better wishes to, though, please do. :) — Xyzzy☥the☥Avatar 08:20, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
The TL looks atrocious. Any chance of redoing it, preferably using a program that uses proper image scaling? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.193.65.17 ( talk) 14:58, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Timeline of Apple II family |

Despite the incredibly underwhelming response to my redo of the Apple II timeline, I finished it.
If there is no objection in the next few days, I'll go ahead and replace the current image with this new one.
There are some minor differences, but they make for a stronger timeline. For example, I moved the Apple IIe card down, since it's a peripheral for the Mac LC, and I added another identifier in the legend. Discuss. — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 20:06, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
article. With my version, because of how the wiki software works, when a user clicks on an Apple model, they are instead brought to the SVG page. From THERE they must click again to get to the SVG image alone, then from there they can click on the model numbers and go to the articles, but that is far too much work. In this case, usability trumps readability, so mine with remain unused.
Did the IIe really come before the IIc?? 65.215.93.238 ( talk) 19:17, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
Ok, is it just me or is there nudity in the image that says Zig Zag on the monitor? Its very pixelated and partly cut off, but the right side of the image appears to me to show a hand, and a womens upper torso and breasts. Not complaining, I just wondered if this was correct or is my mind just dirty! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.98.131.10 ( talk) 07:24, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
I grew up with the Apple II and when reading this article there are currently 17 unreferenced citations needed on this page. Is this just POV or can someone cite these claims? 172.56.6.65 ( talk) 14:42, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Lots of unsourced opinions and tangents and details have snuck into this. The article is meant to give an overview of the series, with links to other articles, and not get be wandering around though odd minutia. I've been cleaning out some of the things that don't belong here, parenthetical asides, etc. If you think I removed something that's key, please put it back. Dgpop ( talk) 02:39, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
The section on clones takes up nearly half of the article. For an article on the Apple II series proper, this section really ought to be spun-off into its own page, say Apple II clones. A lot has been written in newspapers and journals about said clones, especially regarding Apple's litigious attitude toward many of them (see the Franklin Ace 100), so it definitely stands up as a notable topic of its own.
