This timeline of Apple II Family models lists all major types of Apple II computers produced by Apple Computer in order of introduction date. The Apple I, Apple III and Apple Lisa are included, even though they are not classed as part of the Apple II series (or a Macintosh), because of their unique role in Apple's product lineup of the era.

The Apple Lisa does not support Apple II software, but shares common hardware. The Apple IIe Card requires a Macintosh LC for operation. Both are shaded to indicate their unique status on this timeline. The Apple I and Apple III both run Apple II software natively, classifying them as Apple II family computers except in name for the purposes of this timeline.
