Known quirks
- Refresh addressed the heat issues and included reworked motherboards from the factory
- Included ProFile 5 MB hard drive as standard in most configurations
- Slashed price ($2,995) and bundled software couldn't save its market reputation
- Discontinued just months after launch — total III sales ~120,000 units over 4 years
- Jobs later called the Apple III 'our first real product failure' in internal post-mortems
