The list of Apple codenames covers the codenames given to products by Apple Inc. during development. The codenames are often used internally only, often to maintain secrecy of the project. Occasionally they may end up being the released product's name. Most of Apple's codenames from the 1980s and 1990s are provided by the book Apple Confidential 2.0.[1]
