Announced in January 1999, the Rev. C iMac came in 5 dazzling new colors: Blueberry, Strawberry, Lime, Tangerine and Grape. Essentially a speed-bump of the original iMac, the Rev. C lacked both the mysterious "mezzanine" slot and the IRDA port, which lowered its price to $1199. The Rev. C was replaced just a few months later by the iMac Rev. D.
