Welcome to the AppleVis World Cup of Apple Products, where we invite you to
help us select the top Apple product of the past decade.
Our World Cup is contested by what we believe to have been the 16 most
significant Apple products launched since 2010.
Our list is completely subjective, made up of hardware, software, and
services. With only 16 qualifiers, there are some notable omissions -
there's no desktop Mac, only one Apple Watch, no standalone software
products, no Apple TV or iPod touch, and no Beats headphones or speakers.
You might also find your own favorite iPhone or MacBook failed to make the
cut.
Format and Rules
Our World Cup will take place over four days, with one round each day. Each
round will consist of pairs of products in a knockout format, with the
winners progressing to the next round. The pairings will be drawn at random,
so expect some tough choices and interesting pairings.
Voting is open to all visitors to the AppleVis website; we encourage you to
come back each day to see which products have progressed, and to participate
in each round of voting. The vote will close each day at 23:59 PST.
The Qualifiers
As mentioned above, the qualifiers are what we believe to have been the most
significant new Apple products of the past decade, in the context of the
times they were released or their significance in the evolution of a product
line. For example, the iPhone 11 can objectively be considered the most
advanced iPhone of the decade, but earlier models may have provided a
comparatively greater advancement when released. As such, we encourage you
to consider this when casting your votes. We hope you find this a
light-hearted opportunity to have your say, as well as to reflect on Apple's
decade of new products.
Here are the 16 Apple products which have made it to the first round of our
World Cup:
