The story of Apple Inc. is one of the great technological and financial success, and it can be said and shown
by the evolution of remarkable material they were diligently discover the world since 1976. It was a long way especially marked by the triumph, even though Apple has also picked up its fair share of controversy along the way.
The early years
It all started with the countercultural vision of two men who shared their names Steve: Jobs and Wozniak. They left the university in 1975, and in 1976, they had already made the Apple I. Their first computer was a far cry from the elegant designs that happen in the mid-1980s, the Apple I was just a circuit that could be connected to a television, and it still lacks a keyboard.
The Apple II and Apple III series were truly revolutionary hardware system which consisted of a plastic card enclosed with an integrated keyboard and various input / output connectors. In 1983, Apple was already making its own devices, such as monitors, printers, disk drives, joysticks, and more. The pre-Macintosh Apple Lisa was introduced in 1983, and it would shake the world of computing with admiration and controversy.
The Apple Macintosh
The introduction of the Macintosh market was pure fantasy Steve Jobs. The company grafted onto the title of George Orwell's dystopian novel and featured an incredible 1984 TV spot directed by Ridley Scott who suggested at the beginning of a new era in personal computing, which moves away from the Big Blue / IBM / Microsoft dominance of the market for desktop.
The revolutionary Macintosh operating system, which had already made an appearance in the Apple Lisa, was designed for a couple of visits by Steve Jobs and other Apple engineers for the Xerox PARC research center in California. These visits in 1979 would later become poisonous rumors about the ownership of personal computing projects Apple Xerox in terms of innovative graphical user interface (GUI) design. These rumors proved greatly exaggerated.
Mac Goes Portable
The incredible success Macintosh has undergone many improvements over the years, with the Quadra and Performa be among the most popular models. Apple said it was time to take the show on the road and go mobile, but an internal reorganization of business management within the company led to the abrupt departure of the mercurial genius Steve Jobs in 1985.
Unemployed at the helm, Apple still managed to produce some of the finest hardware ever created. The company's foray into the world of mobile mainly composed of 1989 Macintosh Portable, which was not well received, and the revolutionary Powerbook in 1991. The release of the Newton portable digital assistant (PDA) in 1993 was a sign of things to come in mobile computing.
The era of iDevices: Steve Jobs returns
When Jobs returned to Apple in 1996, he was determined to shape the future of computing. From 1998 to 2001, the Macintosh became the iMac and Power Mac line of desktop computers made the company a favorite among artists. Mac OS X and the iPod operating system first generation in 2001 paved the way for the 2007 version of the iPhone, and things have not been the same since. Steve Jobs sadly passed away in 2011, but its incredibly direction Apple will always be remembered whenever a smartphone is used.
