What Does Apple IIe Mean?
The Apple IIe is a part of the Apple II series of personal computers, and is the third model in the line developed by Apple Computers. The “e” in the name stands for “enhanced” as it retained the previous models’ software library, aesthetics and capabilities while several popular features from older models that had only been available as paid upgrades were now available out of the box. This model earned its merit to be the longest-lived computer as it was manufactured and sold for nearly eleven years with fairly few changes.
Techopedia Explains Apple IIe
In 1980, Apple Computer had planned to discontinue the Apple II series after the introduction of the Apple III. However by 1981, IBM released its IBM PC, causing Apple III to struggle in the market, but the Apple II was already established so the company decided to continue the line.
