TECH NEWS – The Cupertino-based tech giant will celebrate its 50th birthday next year, but 49 doesn’t sound so bad either.

Apple was founded on April 1, 1976, in a small garage with the vision of Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. Over the years, the company has become synonymous with innovation and user-centered design. Its first product was the Apple I, a bold idea that challenged the norms of the time. Thanks to the vision of Steve Jobs (Apple’s legendary former CEO), the device started a revolution in personal computing.

The Macintosh introduced the graphical user interface, and Jobs took it upon himself to make it easier for the end user. The iPod, with its iconic slogan (1000 songs in your pocket), changed the way people listened to music. Then, in many ways, the company went one step further with the introduction of the iPad, which made computing more portable. Each of these products advanced technology that would go on to change not only the way we interact with devices, but the way they interact with us.

In 2007, the company launched the first iPhone, a pocket-sized revolution that redefined modern life. The original iPhone not only changed the concept of the phone, it redefined photography, created the app economy, transformed business productivity and changed the way we consume media today. The company has come a long way and is now moving into the foldable segment. It has also built an entire ecosystem of iOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS and iPadOS that work together to give users a seamless transition between products. Then there are its services: iCloud, Apple TV+, Apple Music or Apple News.

Over the past decade, Apple has focused on developing its own unique chips that deliver enhanced computing and graphics performance. M chips have set a new standard for the industry with their focus on performance and efficiency. This year, Apple also introduced its own proprietary mode, C1, demonstrating Apple’s commitment to reducing its dependence on suppliers. This will pay off in the long run.

We wonder how they will celebrate their 50th anniversary next year?
