Pedantic note: The Mac was never 16-bit. The 68000 was a 32-bit chip with 24-bit addressing.
Te Apple II line went from 8-bit to 16-bit with the introduction of the IIgs, but that cannot be considered part of the Mac evolution since DOS, ProDOS and GS/OS did not have binary compatibility with the Mac.
