Apple Computer

Today I am going to inform you about Apple Inc. I personally prefer apple products over any other brand out when dealing with computers, tablets, phones, mp3 players and etc.

Here is some information about how apple started. Apple Computer Inc. was founded in 1976 by Steve jobs, and Steve Wozniak, friends from Silicon Valley who had worked at Atari and HP together before. They went on to showcase their computer called the apple 1 in showcases around the United States. Jobs then dropped out of college and reportedly started to drop acid as well. A third co-founder, Ronald Wayne, sold his 10% stake in the company for $800 in 1976. Apple is now a $50 billion company, based on annualized revenue. So I’m sure Wayne is regretting his decision on selling out for $800 in 1976. The company has been up and down in since they began but now they are on top of the market. Steve Jobs actually left the company and sold his shares for 70 million in 1985. But then re-joined in 1996. With new products coming out all the time the company is set to be the first trillion dollar company.

On October 23, 2001, Apple introduced the iPod, a portable digital music player. With the big success of the iPod they came out with ITunes. The iTunes Music Store was launched in 2003 with 2 million downloads in only 16 days.

The first version of the iPhone became available to the public on June 29, 2007. And ever since then about every 12 months they come out with a new model of the iPhone. With today it being the iPhone 5.

The Apple iPad was announced on January 27, 2010. The halo effect happened after the release of the IPad. Which means other apple products also started to sell quick and fast.

Apple now is in the process of making the first apple television and is set to be sold for around $1,500 to 2,500. Also a new model of the IPad and the iPhone are set to announce this year.
