Jan. 2002: Time cover: iMac G4 unveiled

The iMac G4, which debuted in January 2002, was one of Apple's most striking designs. "At best, people thought it was rather odd," Apple design guru Jonathan Ive told CNET at the time. "I actually think this is less shocking than the [original] iMac was."

According to Time magazine's account of the development the new machine and Jobs' discussions with Ive, Jobs said, "It should look like a sunflower."
