Apple’s 50-year ride is wild—starting in 1976 with the Apple I, a wooden hobbyist computer Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built in a garage, to dropping the Apple II in ’77 and the game-changing Macintosh in ’84 with its first real GUI. The ’90s were messy—Newton flopped, clones diluted the brand—but they bounced back hard with the colorful iMac G3 in ’98 and macOS in 2001. Then came the hits: iPod in 2001, iTunes in 2003, iPhone in 2007, and iPad in 2010, each redefining its category. Over five decades, Apple went from garage tinkering to shaping how we listen, watch, and connect—constantly iterating, constantly pulling us into the next thing before we even knew we wanted it.
