The company was born from the minds of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, with the sales ability of one and the intelligence of the other when designing devices.
The Cupertino giant went through different stages before becoming what it is today, so we will review a few small routes of this great journey.
Apple started on a good idea, poorly planned
The company began in the second half of the 70’s, with the design of the Apple 1 by Steve Wozniak and the desire to sell it by Steve Jobs.
Wozniak worked for Hewlett-Packard and got engineers to examine his work so HP would buy his first design from them, though the opposite happened.
Atari rejected the second model offered by Steve Jobs but the company contacted them with investors to start their journey in forming a company.
Apple was born on April 1, 1976 with Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ron Wayne as founders, although the latter resigned 12 days after the date.
The Macintosh 128K was the company’s first successfully commercialized personal computer in 1984, in what would be the beginning of a great journey.
Steve Jobs became the main and iconic image of the company, having in 2007 one of the presentations that changed the world: the arrival of the first iPhone.

The company continued to transform the world with its devices like the iPod, the iPad, various Mac computers, and even watches like the iWatch.
Steve Jobs would lose his life on October 5, 2011 due to cancer and at only 56 years old, he managed to be one of the world’s technological revolutionaries.
