: processor: 6502 (same as the Apple II, II+, unenhanced IIe)

Not quite true, it's a bit enchanced because it can address more then 64KB
using bank-switching (see statements in Apple /// manuals)

: speed: 1 megahertz (you may correct me if I'm wrong)

The Apple /// runs under it's normal native mode with 2 MHz ! And
when emulating the Appl ][ it slows doen to 1.024MHz

: Graphics:  Well, I remember hearing that the Apple III had quite a few

: specifics, but I do remember that the III had the same resoloution as the 
: Apple IIe and IIc's Double Hi-Res screen (560x192) and also had 16 
: colors, though I don't know the specifics of how many were available, etc.

It has for example a 280 x 192 mode with all 16 colors possible (without
restrictions) It also has always twice as many bitmaps allocated.

: The Apple III also had Apple II emulation capabilites and had 4 slots.  

true.
