Apple’s history starts with the story of two young and exceptional people who began building a computer in

their garage and launched the microcomputer revolution. It’s the story of two ‘Steves’:- Stephen G

Wozniak and Steven P Jobs

THE BEGINNING

Apple has been created in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne in Cupertino, California . They all left ATARI Computers to create their own company. Apple's first headquarter was the Jobs' parents garage where Jobs and his friends design their first computer kit : the Apple I

interface to enable external data storage was added.

APPLE II

In 1977, Apple II was released for $1298 Had color graphics – a

first for a personal computer Originally used an audio

cassette drive for storage but later it was replaced by a floppy disk drive Supported the BASIC

program Had 64 KB of memoryAnd with a software

called VisiCalc which was Apple's "killer application" : a spreadsheet program !

Apple III Released May 1980 Had 128K of RAM Designed for businesses – expensive!! > $4300!!! Had lots of problems – didn’t do well..

Apple Lisa Released in 1983 Became the first personal computer sold to the

iPod- THE BLOCKBUSTER

On October 23, 2001-the iPod CPU: Samsung ARM and Apple

A4 5 GB hard drive that put

"1,000 songs in pocket” New technology: spintronicsInitially , iPod software only

worked with Mac OS;  from 2nd generation onwards

works with Microsoft Windows alsoApple's iTunes Store was

introduced, offering online music downloads for $0.99 a song and integration with the iPod.

Albert Fert and Peter Gruenberg won the 2007 Nobel Prize for physics for work that has allowed hard disks to be made much smaller for everything from laptops to iPodsThe prize was awarded for work on

magnetoelectronics, also known as spintronics.It uses the spin of the electron to store and

transport information instead of the electrical charge, meaning much more information could be kept in a smaller space than before.
