Apple is a public company which is a company that trades their items on the open market and the investor can even do stock exchanging in the stock market.

Steven Wozniak and Steven Jobs had been friends in high school. They had both been interested in electronics. They kept in touch after graduation, and both ended up dropping out of school and getting jobs working for companies in Silicon Valley.

Wozniak had been dabbling in computer-design for some time when, in 1976, he designed what would become the Apple I. Jobs, who had an eye for the future, insisted that he and Wozniak try to sell the machine, and on April 1, 1976, Apple Computer was born.

Hobbyists did not take the Apple I very seriously, and Apple did not begin to take off until 1977, when the Apple II debuted at a local computer trade show. The first personal computer to come in a plastic case and include color graphics, the Apple II was an impressive machine. Orders for Apple machines were multiplied by several times after its introduction. And with the introduction in early ‘78 of the Apple Disk II, the most inexpensive, easy to use floppy drive ever (at the time), Apple sales further increased.

In 1981, things got a bit more difficult. A saturated market made it more difficult to sell computers, and in February. Apple was forced to lay off 40 employees. Wozniak was injured in a plane crash. He took a leave of absence and returned only briefly. Jobs became chairman of Apple computer in March.

It is an international company which started in America. Since it’s now a public company, there are many Apple mini companies all around the world. The companies import Apple’s technology for us to use.

Your experience with the company

Some product is hard to use because is not suites for children. When product is broken is hard to prepare it because mostly in Thailand don’t have the apple spares tools to change. But mostly of Apple company are good.
