Some time ago, Marc Esslinger published an amazing collection of pictures of Apple prototypes from the early 1980s including the very first telephone bearing the now defunct rainbow logo.

Marc Esslinger’s father is no other than Hartmut Esslinger, fouder of successful design agency Frog Design and designer of the famous Apple II Snow White which was Apple’s first portable computer in 1984.

It’s interesting to see how advanced Apple design concepts were at the time, though technology didn’t allow them to make those beautiful products come true. Laptop, tablet and wireless technologies are pretty resembling to the products that the Cupertino based company recently released.
