On this day, 48 years ago, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne incorporated Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), a company that would go on to revolutionize several industries over the next few decades. From personal computing to software design, smartphones, and even music, Apple has played a key role in shaping modern technology.
Although Wayne left 12 days later, Jobs and Wozniak complimented each other well – while Jobs had a knack for design and consumer experiences, Wozniak was the brains behind Apple technology.
Apple's early days were exciting times for the company. It had to go through what any startup has to – finding the right product market fit. Its key challenges would come a decade later, but its first decades and the first four products were an interesting journey.
The Start Of A Revolution
Apple's existence so far can be cleanly divided into four acts – the exciting first decade, the painful 15 years that brought the company to the brink, Jobs’ return, and the post-Jobs era.
Apple's origins were just as interesting as the company's life so far has been – Wozniak and Jobs both tried to sell their ideas, namely, Apple I and Apple II computers, to other companies.
