The model went through many different incarnations and remained in production for an impressive 17 years, eventually selling around six million units.

Macintosh TV manufactured
This was Apple's first attempt to integrate a television and a computer, but rather than being able to see TV programmes in a window on the screen users could only switch the monitor from computer to television. Only 10,000 were made. Cost: $2,079 http://http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/10/20-years-ago-today-apple-took-its-first-crack-at-tv-and-failed/

iMac G3 creation saves Apple
The iMac represented a radical change of direction in terms of design, coining a new model name that persists to this day. It also saved Apple from financial despair, and was the first product released following Steve Jobs' return. It comes in 5 colors: lime (lime green), strawberry (pinkish-red), blueberry (royal blue), grape (purple), and tangerine (orange-yellow). http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac_333.html

iMac G4
With the second generation of the iMac, Apple dropped the iconic candy-colored egg case design and introduced an LCD flatscreen. Originally named The New iMac until the G3 ceased production, when it became the iMac, before changing again to iMac G4. Cost: $1299, $1499, or $1799 depending on different processors and memory. http://www.macworld.com/article/1167686/the_exceptional_imac_g4_ten_years_later.html

iMac G5
The iMac was the last Macintosh to use PowerPC chips, but also the first iMac to have a full flatscreen case. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/10580156/Mac-at-30-timeline-Apples-every-major-product.html -
Intel iMac
In 2006 Steve Jobs announced new iMacs would be switching over to Intel chips for the first time, although the design would be the same as the G5. Since Apple used Intel processors, Intel's lcopyright licencse would creative commons because they used some of it and had permission to do so.

Mac Pro Second Generation
Apple was criticised for its lack of significant update to the Pro after 2012’s WWDC, but the following year produced the second generation with a radically new layout. The polished black aluminium cylinder's single fan draws hot air up and out. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/10580156/Mac-at-30-timeline-Apples-every-major-product.html

Future Model
I think the future Apple computer will have a big and high resolution display with fast, new software. Maybe there might be different colors. For instance: Black, Silver, or Gold.
