Gallagher, William (2023-08-03). "Newton's August 1993 launch set the stage for what would become the iPad and iPhone". AppleInsider. Retrieved 2025-07-17. When Sculley launched the Newton on May 29, 1993, it didn't work. Literally. The first prototype demonstrated on stage wouldn't switch on. Fortunately the second did. Even so, Sculley should not have caved in to pressure to announce it yet. Ultimately, the Newton wouldn't actually ship for another 14 months. It came out on August 2, 1993.
