Apple News
Many companies have claimed they invented the personal computer, but Apple’s claims have more credibility than most. The company was launched in California in 1976 and was run by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak , who invented all of its early computers including the famous Apple II. Today it is one of the largest Consumer Electronics businesses in the world, re-energized when Steve Jobs became CEO again in 1998. Jobs engineered redesigns for the Mac Computer range, and went on to launch the iPod, the iTunes music store and software, the iPhone, the first smartphone App Store and the iPad tablet. These have led to Apple becoming a household name around the world. The company now designs its own core processing chips and writes most of its own software and has built its reputation on original design, being first to widely use technology such as touch screens; for simplifying user interfaces; and for boldly buying up lines of supply with billion dollar pre-purchases, such as flash memory and high definition LCD screens.
