In early 1976 in California, Steve Wozniak designed a computer circuit board that he intended to share with fellow hobbyists at a local club. His friend Steve Jobs recognized its commercial potential and suggested manufacturing and selling the boards. From this partnership, Apple was born, laying the foundation for one of the most influential companies in history. 

Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, Apple has profoundly shaped both the technology industry and daily life. It helped bring desktop computers and later smartphones into the mainstream, popularised mobile applications, and demonstrated how seamlessly integrated hardware and software can enhance user experience. 

Tim Cook, the chief executive officer at Apple, shared a letter, he wrote, “At Apple, we’re more focused on building tomorrow than remembering yesterday. But we couldn’t let this milestone pass without thanking the millions of people who make Apple what it is today — our incredible teams around the world, our developer community, and every customer who has joined us on this journey. Your ideas inspire our work. Your trust drives us to do better. Your stories remind us of all we can accomplish when we think different.” “If you’ve taught us anything, it’s that the people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
