We have all heard the legendary beginnings of Apple. The story of two Steves, Jobs and Wozniak, who combined their love for new technologies to create the future of computing, starting in a Californian garage. The company quickly gained recognition, especially with the Apple 1, a desktop computer developed by Wozniak.
The small business rapidly grew to the point that on April 1, 1976, the story officially began. The two Steves, with the support of Ronald Wayne, launched the Apple adventure. They did not yet know that less than 50 years later, this company would become the most valuable in the world, richer than some countries.
To achieve such a destiny, Apple needed impressive beginnings to stand out and attract investors. This is precisely what this dynamic trio accomplished starting in 1977 with the launch of the Apple II, which became Apple's first commercial success. However, Apple faced challenges, including the departure of Steve Jobs in the late 80s, and the company was on the brink of bankruptcy when he was recalled in 1997, transforming Apple into a premium brand.
