I believe this was actually in 1996.

Apple II Forever! Or at least for a very long time, compared to other computers.

November 26, 1993: Apple II Finally Discontinued
I used every version of mac os x (including the public beta) and puma was a significant step ahead. I used it every day with no problems.

I have one of these machines (along with a fairly extensive library of software) and still start it up occasionally. Even today it's a nice-looking compact computer.

Actually the last of the 680x0 macs was the PowerBook 190, one of which I owned. It was sold in 95 and 96, and had a 66MHz 68LC040. The form factor was the same as the infamous 5300 series.

The IIc was not the last of the Apple II lines. The IIgs was released in late 1985 and the IIc+ was released in 1989. The IIc+ had a built-in 3.5" floppy drive as opposed to the IIc's 5.25", and an internal power supply as opposed to the IIc's external. Also it had a 4MHz chip, making it the fastest factory-built Apple II ever.
