Apple History Quiz – From a Small Start to a Tech Giant

Apple's story began on April 1, 1976, when Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne founded the company in California. Wayne sold his share after 12 days, while Wozniak built the Apple I, priced at 666.66 dollars. In 1977 the Apple II became one of the first successful personal computers.

The company's first logo showed Isaac Newton under a tree, but Rob Janoff's rainbow apple soon replaced it. After difficult years in the 1990s, Apple launched the Think Different campaign in 1997 and the colorful Bondi Blue iMac in 1998, marking a remarkable comeback.

The 2000s changed Apple from a computer maker into a consumer electronics leader. The iTunes Store sold songs for 99 cents, the App Store opened in 2008, and the iPad arrived in 2010. The Apple Watch followed in 2015.

In 2018 Apple became the first US public company worth one trillion dollars. Its ring-shaped Apple Park campus opened in 2017, and in 2024 it released Vision Pro, a mixed-reality headset. Few companies have shaped modern life as much, and its product launches are still followed closely by millions of fans.
