Apple was established on April 1 st 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wonzniak, and Ronald Wayne, to sell the Apple 1. The Apple 1 was a personal computer kit designed by Wozniak. This was their first product.

Apple then began working on the Apple Lisa in 1978. Jobs was kicked from the team and took over a low cost project, the Macintosh. A race broke out between the Lisa and Macintosh team, to see who would ship first.
5
The Apple Lisa won the race in 1983 becoming the first personal computer with a Graphical User Interface. But was a failure due to its extremely high prices and limited software.
6
Once realizing how much of a failure the Apple Lisa was, they released the Macintosh in 1984. It was announced by the famous 1.5 million dollar commercial aired during the 3 rd quarter of Super Bowl XVII. It was such a popular product, that they created a Macintosh Portable.

In 1985 there was a power struggle between Jobs, and CEO John Scuelly. He was informed to “contain” jobs and hold him back. Steve Jobs resigned that same year and started NExT Inc. the same year.

For some time apple did incredibly well. They introduced fresh new products and had plenty of income flowing in. Apple started releasing “updated” products, that only left consumers confused and not understanding the differences between models. Soon, other companies started catching up with the software of Apple, and sold their products for less cost. For the next couple years apple started to go down the drain, until Spindler was replaced by Gil Amelio as CEO. He made a smart choice to purchase Next inc. bringing Steve Jobs back into the business. Jobs then took over as CEO in the next two years and came up with one of the most popular products that changed the mobile world today.

In 2007 Apple released the first phone one of the most popular mobile phone lines in the world, the iPhone. It was the birth of the Smartphone, a phone that can access apps, internet, calendars, and more. The iPhones popularity continues to grow every day, in 2011 70% of US owned smart phones were iPhones.
