1979- Apple II+
1979- The Apple II+ was the successor to the Apple II.
It was fully compatible with the Apple II. It, however, had new features:
- a new ROM holding the AppleSoft Basic (floating point version written by Microsoft),
- a new auto-start (stored in ROM) for easier start-up and screen editing,
- 48 KB RAM,
- text modes were the same as the Apple II, but the graphics modes were enhanced, they're the same as the Apple 2e : 16 colors at low resolution and 6 colors at high resolutions. In fact this 6-colour mode was also available on the Apple II since revision 1 of the motherboard.
The Apple II+ was sold in Europe as the Apple IIe uroplus which could display video in European PAL format, and had ESC sequences for European letters. It was followed by the Apple 2e.
