50 Years of Apple: From Garage Startup to Global Tech Leader
Today is April 1st, and it's not just April Fools' Day, but also Apple's birthday.
It was on this day 50 years ago that a company was founded, which today has become one of the largest tech giants and a trendsetter in the gadget market.
Founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, the company began by creating simple personal computers.
The first device was the Apple I — a single-board computer that was sold without a case, keyboard, or monitor. Just a year later, the more advanced Apple II appeared, becoming one of the first mass-produced personal computers with color graphics and a keyboard.
In 1984, Apple introduced the Macintosh — a revolutionary computer with a graphical interface and a mouse, laying the foundation for modern interaction with computers.
In 50 years, Apple has transformed from a garage startup into one of the most influential companies in the world, continuing to set standards in design, technology, and user experience - it is now hard to imagine life without the iPhone, iPad, or AirPods.
CEO Tim Cook previously published an open letter to Apple ecosystem users, and now he has showcased the company's key releases.
50 years of Apple, 50 years of innovation.
