APPLE

Apple has been making computers for 40 years. From the iMac to the iPod and the iPhone, here is the story...

THE LOGO 

Everyone knows the Apple logo. It is probably a reference to Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity. Apple's first slogan was "Byte into an Apple".

THE FIRST APPLE

Apple was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. Their first product was the Apple I computer, then the Apple II came in 1977. The company quickly realized the importance of publicity. They gave one Apple II computer to every school in California. Parents started to buy computers for their kids to have at home!

 THE IPHONE

 

This is Apple's new success story. Its functions include those of a camera phone and an iPod plus text messaging (SMS) and visual voicemail. The iPhone was launched in the USA in 2007. 270,000 were sold in the first 30 hours!
