Historical Context

The Apple Monitor III belongs to Apple’s early push into business computing around the Apple III, when the company was trying to offer a more complete and polished desktop setup rather than just a standalone computer. Its monochrome, business-oriented design makes it a nice reminder of the period before Apple became strongly identified with color graphics and the Macintosh visual experience, and it also had enough compatibility to be used with Apple II systems as well.
