The Rise of Apple: From the Apple 1 to the Iconic Macintosh

Founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, Apple began its journey in the personal computer industry with the Apple 1, a DIY kit designed by Wozniak. The launch of the Apple 2 in 1977 marked a turning point, as it became a commercial success with features like a built-in keyboard and color graphics, positioning Apple as a significant competitor against giants like IBM. The company went public in 1980, gaining substantial capital, and revolutionized the market further with the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984. The Macintosh not only set new standards for user-friendly computing but also left an indelible mark on pop culture with its iconic Super Bowl commercial.
