THE EVOLUTION OF APPLE INC.
2006199719771975
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
THE BEGINNING.
THE BEGINNING
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
APPLE I
On1976 April 1 – released the Apple I (for $666) 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.

APPLE II
In 1977, Apple II was released for $1298 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 Had 64 KB of memoryAnd with a software
called VisiCalc which was Apple's "killer application" : a spreadsheet program !
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”
EXTRA SHOT
Apple III Released May 1980 Had 128K of RAM Designed for businesses – expensive!! > $4300!!! Had lots of problems – didn’t do well..
Apple Lisa Released in 1983 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

LETS HAVE ANOTHER COMPARISON
EVOLUTION OF OS’S…
Mac System 1,2,3,4 (1984-1987) Distinguishable from other OSs from that era in that
they used entirely graphical user interfaces Could only run one application at a time
Mac System 5, 6, 7 (1987 – mid 1990’s)Could run multiple applications Mac OS 8 (8.0 – 8.6) (1997) – better file management Mac OS 9 (9.0 – 9.2.2) (1999) – improved support for
wireless Mac OS X (1999 – today) – UNIX based OS 10.0 – Cheetah (‘01) 10.1 – Puma (‘02) 10.2 – Jaguar (’03)
10.3 – Panther (’04) 10.4 – Tiger (’05) 10.5 – Leopard (’08)
10.6 – Snow Leopard (’09)
10.7 – Lion(‘11)
iPod- THE BLOCKBUSTER
On October 23, 2001-the iPod CPU: Samsung ARM and
Apple A4 5 GB hard drive that put
"1,000 songs in pocket” New technology:
spintronicsInitially , iPod software only
worked with Mac OS; from 2nd generation
onwards works with Microsoft Windows alsoApple's iTunes Store was
introduced, offering online music downloads for $0.99 a song and integration with the iPod.
Albert Fert and Peter Gruenberg won the 2007 Nobel Prize for physics for work that has allowed hard disks to be made much smaller for everything from laptops to iPodsThe prize was awarded for work on
magnetoelectronics, also known as spintronics.It uses the spin of the electron to store and
transport information instead of the electrical charge, meaning much more information could be kept in a smaller space than before.
EXTRA SHOT..
on January 9, 2007, Jobs announced that Apple Computer, Inc. would from that point on be known as Apple Inc., because computers were no longer the main focus of the company, which had shifted its emphasis to consumer electronic devices Announced iPhone and Apple TV
