Apple, Inc. (or simply Apple) is an American technology company headquartered in Cupertino, California. It is known for consumer electronics, software, and online services. The company was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne. Its services and products have been the subject of many references within the animated series Serial Experiments Lain.
According to an interview with writer Chiaki J. Konaka for the French magazine HK-Orient extrême cinéma, the staff were fans of Apple's technology, notably the Macintosh (now Mac) line of computers. The design of many computers in Lain's world is based on contemporary products of the 1990s such as the iMac G3 and the 20th Anniversary Mac, which form the basis for Alice Mizuki and Lain Iwakura's personal computers, respectively.[1] The HandiNAVI is based on the Apple Newton. Most of the effects were created on Mac computers.[2]
