Steve Wozniak created the first Apple computer, the Apple I in 1976

Jobs convinced Wozniak that he needed to try and sell the machine, and then the company was established on April 1, 1976, in Cupertion, California

As apple began to fall apart, Jobs began to start producing Macintosh, it was an inexpensive DOS PC,that was going to work better with the hard to use DOS applications.

However, the longer it was out, the cheaper other computers became. Apple redeemed itself by introducing the first Desktop Publishing programs. With this development Mac began to lead the industry overnight.

Apple then again in 95' started to go down. Apple all of a sudden had accumulated all these backorders, and didn't have sufficient materials to build them. Apple started to lose millions of dollars and during this time Apple failed to make a profit. Apple also had trouble keeping up with Bill Gate's Windows '95, that had been introduced during the summer of 1995.

On August 15, 1998, Apple introduced a new all-in-one Mac computer reminiscent of the original Macintosh 128K: the iMac.

On May 19, 2001, Apple opened its first official Apple Retail Stores in Virginia and California, and has since continued to open more stores in the United States and other countries.
