Apple’s history
As per a CBS News report, more than the combined population of India and China, people around the globe use products made by Apple Inc.
The whole story of Apple started in Cupertino, California, in 1971, when Steve Wozniak met Steve Jobs on a sidewalk. After that, Wozniak said that at that time no one could imagine that this meeting would one day lead to the creation of a huge technology firm.
By 1975, computers were still new and unfamiliar to various people. That time, Wozniak built an early computer that was basically a simple circuit board.
Later, Steve Jobs suggested that they should try to sell it. Wozniak later joked that Jobs was very determined to begin a company, while he focused on building the technology.
