Apple marks a significant milestone today, reaching its 50th anniversary. The renowned US tech company was established on April 1, 1976, by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in Los Altos, California. They kickstarted their journey from Jobs’ parents’ house and garage, where they launched their first product, the Apple 1.
The inception of the personal PC, the Apple 1, paved the way for Apple’s remarkable success story, positioning the company as one of the leading global corporations today.
Initially focused on computers, Apple diversified its product range, introducing groundbreaking devices like the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
The Verge polled its audience to uncover Apple’s greatest hits, yielding surprising results. The original iPhone, introduced in 2007, claimed the top position. This flagship product revolutionized communication, entertainment, payments, and photography with its integrated features.
The iPod, securing the second spot, revolutionized the music industry in 2001 by offering the convenience of carrying “1,000 songs in your pocket,” rendering traditional tape and CD players obsolete.
Apple discontinued the iPod range in May 2022, marking the end of an era.
Contrary to expectations, The Verge readers placed Apple’s M1 chip in third place. This innovative silicon enhanced Apple’s PC performance significantly while maintaining energy efficiency.
