Why it Flopped

 * 1) There are no cooling fans. According to most accounts, Steve Jobs insisted that the machine design must have no cooling fan; with the system's aluminum case being used to serve as a heat sink instead. This caused overheating of the computer, causing the circuit boards to warp and dislodge the chips out of their sockets. The overheating issue caused a recall that ruined the reputation of the computer making it end up not selling much more products.
 * 2) Apple III crammed too many components into a too small case.
