9. The Beginning
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.
9
10. 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
10
11. Apple - I
On1976 April 1 – released the Apple I and
started Apple Computers.
Had 8 KB of RAM
It was box wood-made with a basic
motherboard inside.
Later a cassette interface to enable external
data storage was added.
11
12. Apple - II
In 1977, Apple II was released, 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 and had 64
KB of memory
And with a software called VisiCalc which
was Apple's "killer application" : a
spreadsheet program !
12
13. Extra Shot
In 1979 Jobs and some other Apple employees
visited the Xerox PARC( Palo Alto Research
Centre). There they saw Xerox Alto. “The
environment of the screen was graphically
based” with icons, with a mouse for pointing at
them, windows and pull-down menus. Thus the
user could ”interact easily with the computer
without ever typing a single letter”
13
14. Apple III

different interface and introduce the words mouse, icon, and
desktop into the lexicon of the computing public.
Became the first personal computer sold to the public with a GUI.
Aimed at large businesses
Commercial failure due to high price tag (almost $10,000) and
limited software it could run.
14
15. Apple Macintosh
Apple introduced the Macintosh in 1984
128 KB memory
The Macintosh initially sold well, but
follow-up sales were not strong due to its
high price and limited range of software
titles.
The machine's fortunes changed with
the introduction of the LaserWriter, the
first PostScript laser printer to be offered at
a reasonable price, and PageMaker, an
early desktop publishing package.
The Mac was particularly powerful in
this market due to its advanced graphics
capabilities, which had necessarily been
built in to create the intuitive Macintosh
GUI. 15
16. Extra Shot
1985: due to some power struggle between
Jobs and then CEO John Sculley, Jobs
resigns from Apple Computers and started a
new company NeXT Inc.

28. Conclusion
For 35 years Apple has been a trend-setter company able to foresee the
future of domestic computer and consumer electronics. it will probably
continue during the next decades. because their strength is the
innovation . And they know, how to
“think different”.
We still think there are some recommendations to Apple which have to
be filled in future:
Collaborate with more technology related industries and companies.
Aim for more interaction with companies.
Make the iMac more computable.
Loosen the closed ecosystem approach.
Improvement in map & navigation apps.
!!……Apple, go on innovating…..!!
