1. 2001

   Macworld Expo San Francisco 2001 (iTunes, iDVD, Titanium PowerBook G4, ‘digital hub’)

   Jobs laid out the ‘digital hub’ strategy that defined Apple’s decade: the Mac as the centre of cameras, camcorders and music players. He launched iTunes 1.0 and iDVD, gave Mac OS X 10.0 a March 24 date, and finished with ‘one more thing’ — the one-inch-thick Titanium PowerBook G4.

2. 2001

   Macworld Expo Tokyo 2001 keynote (Flower Power / Blue Dalmatian iMacs)

   Jobs repeated the Mac OS X, iTunes and Titanium PowerBook story for Japan, then introduced the patterned ‘Flower Power’ and ‘Blue Dalmatian’ iMacs and CD-RW iMacs. A same-day NHK television interview (-Z9cFdhHKB4) also survives.

3. 2001

   NHK interview after Macworld Tokyo

   Interviewed by NHK the day before the Macworld Tokyo 2001 keynote, Jobs describes the phases of personal computing, why passion matters in starting companies, and the importance of focus. An uncut version is on Archive.org per Wikipedia.

4. 2001

   White iBook (Dual USB) introduction

   Jobs introduced the redesigned white polycarbonate iBook — smaller, lighter and cheaper than the clamshell — to press in Apple’s Town Hall auditorium, a small-venue format Apple would reuse for the iPod that autumn.

5. 2001

   Apple retail store introduction (press preview and video tour)

   Four days before the first two stores opened, Jobs walked the press through the Tysons Corner store, and Apple published a QuickTime ‘walking tour’ in which he explains the layout — products up front, the Genius Bar at the back, a software section and a kids’ area.

6. 2001

   WWDC 2001 keynote (excerpts)

   Two months after Mac OS X 10.0 shipped, Jobs told developers what was coming in 10.1 and launched Mac OS X Server 10.0 and WebObjects 5. Only a few minutes of audience-shot footage of the opening and closing keynotes are known to survive.

7. 2001

   CNN interview after the Macworld New York 2001 keynote

   A five-minute CNN interview recorded after the Macworld New York 2001 keynote at which Jobs introduced the Quicksilver Power Mac G4s and previewed Mac OS X 10.1. The last of three post-Macworld CNN interviews (1999, 2000, 2001) preserved by allaboutstevejobs.com.

8. 2001

   Macworld Expo New York 2001 keynote (Mac OS X 10.1)

   Jobs previewed Mac OS X 10.1 ‘Puma’ (faster, with DVD playback and CD burning), introduced Quicksilver Power Mac G4s and new iMacs, and had Jon Rubinstein debunk the ‘megahertz myth’. The record 64,000-attendee show was Apple’s last Macworld NY keynote with Jobs.

9. 2001

   Seybold San Francisco 2001 keynote (Mac OS X 10.1 ships)

   Two weeks after 9/11, Jobs launched Mac OS X 10.1 to the publishing industry, demonstrating its speed, DVD playback and DVD-R burning, and showing Adobe and Quark software on the new OS.

10. 2001

    iPod introduction (‘1,000 songs in your pocket’)

    Six weeks after 9/11, before a small audience of journalists and employees, Jobs walked through the digital-hub logic, dismissed existing MP3 players, and pulled from his jeans pocket a 5 GB, FireWire-synced player with a scroll wheel: ‘a thousand songs in your pocket’, $399, shipping November 10.

11. 2002

    Macworld Expo San Francisco 2002 (iMac G4 and iPhoto)

    Jobs introduced iPhoto, a 14-inch iBook and the flat-panel ‘sunflower’ iMac G4 — a 15-inch LCD floating on a chrome arm above a half-dome base. Time magazine had leaked the design on its cover the night before; the keynote was streamed live in QuickTime.

12. 2002

    Macworld Expo Tokyo 2002 (excerpts)

    Jobs’s last Macworld Tokyo keynote: a Japan-market run-through of the iMac G4, the iApps and Mac OS X, with a 23-inch Cinema HD Display and a 10 GB iPod. Only about eight minutes of excerpts are known to survive.

13. 2002

    WWDC 2002 keynote: the Mac OS 9 funeral

    To mark the end of Mac OS 9 development, Jobs had a coffin wheeled on stage, laid a Mac OS 9 box in it and read a mock eulogy (‘Mac OS 9 was a friend to us all...’) to Bach’s Toccata — the moment that signalled Mac OS X was now the only Mac OS. The keynote also previewed 10.2 Jaguar, QuickTime 6 and Rendezvous.
