On April 1, 1976, Apple Inc. was created by two college dropouts both by the name of Steve. One of them was Steve Jobs and the other one was Steve Wozniak. They started the company to change peoples views of computers. They wanted to make computers to be user friendly, so they are small enough for people to have them in their homes and offices. They started out building computers in Jobs garage and sold them without a monitor, keyboard or case. Apple didn't go public until approximately 1980, after the computers came with color graphics. Wozniak left Apple in 1983, and Apple was still doing good until around 1990, when everyone thought the company was doomed. Until Apple asked Steve Jobs for help. To get the company to start doing better, Steve Jobs, decided to make some changes, but he didn't officially become the CEO until 2000. He introduced the laptop and also the ipod. Once he seen business start running again, he also introduced the system that we still use for Apple products called itunes. Apple also introduced phones. Even though Steve Jobs passed away, his company and product still lives and is continuing to grow.
