2.0 INTRODUCTION
Apple also offered their services which are AppleCare, iCloud, Licensing, Digital
Content Stores and Streaming Services and other services. The reason why Apple was
named Apple is because Steve Jobs got the idea after he returned from apple farm and he
thought that Apple sounded fun, spirited and not intimidating. Apple also started with A
which meant would be nearer the front of any listing just like A the first letter.
The Apple logo was inspired by Newton when an Apple fell from a tree hitting him
on the head. So that was where Apple got it’s logo. Rob Janoff, the one who created the
logo said that the Turning connection is simply “a wonderful urban legend” and the bite
take out from the Apple represent the story of Adam and Eve. The Business is a firm
founded in 1977 in California. Apple Computers, Inc. was founded by high school drop
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak on April 1, 1976, who used to have a vision of changing
the way people perceived computers into some kind of startup company.
Jobs and Wozniak have aimed to make computers compact enough to be in their
homes and workplaces for clients to use them. Clearly speaking, they required a
convenient computer. Wozniak and Jobs started planning the Apple I within the Jobs
carport and sold it without a screen, console or casing (which they chosen to include on in
1977). Apple II revolutionized the computing industry with the launch of the first-ever
colour graphics. 1 Sales soared from $7.8 million in 1978 to $117 million in 1980, the
year Apple became public.
Wozniak cleared out Apple in 1983 due to a lessening intrigued within the day-to-day
running of Apple Computers. Occupations at that point contracted PepsiCo's John Sculley
to be president. Be that as it may, this move reverse discharges and after much discussion
with Sculley, Employments cleared out in 1985 and went on to modern and greater
things. He established his possess company Following Program and he moreover bought
Pixar from George Lucas, which would afterward gotten to be a colossal victory in
computer activity of such as Monster, Inc, Toy Story and A Bug's Life.
Apple was doing their best in 1990 and achieved their highest profits yet. However,
Jobs has readily set in motion for his plans before he left. Particularly his deal with a tiny
company by the name of Adobe, creator of the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF).
The two companies Apple and Adobe created the phenomenon known as desktop
publishing. Bill Gates a founder of Microsoft was turned down by Sculley in 1985 to
license its software.
From that decision, Sculley was haunted because of Microsoft which was Windows
operation system (OS) who featured a graphical interface which was similar to Apple’s, it
was their biggest competition in 1980s and 1990s. After years, following its peak in 1990,
Apple's market share suffered steadily, and by 1996, analysts claimed the company was
doomed. It was not until 1997, when Apple was badly in search of an operating system,
that NeXT Software (Jobs' company) was acquired and the board of directors agreed to
ask an old friend, Steve Jobs, for some help.
After that incident Jobs became an interim CEO (iCEO) which he was not an official
CEO of Apple until 2000. When Jobs entered Apple, he wanted to make changes in
Apple. He also suggested to make an alliance with Microsoft so that Apple can
manufacture Mac version of its popular office software. After that incident, the decision
was a turning point for the Apple.
Jobs redone the computers and presented the iBook (an individual tablet). He
moreover begun branching out into mp3 players (iPod) and media player computer
program (iTunes). This was Jobs' best move. Whereas computers are still a critical
portion of Apple, its music related items like iPod and iTunes have ended up the
company's most beneficial segment.
The iPhone, a savvy phone, and Apple TV have too as of late been distributed by Apple.
Eventhough, Steve Jobs has died on October 5, 2011, his legacy still be continued by
Apple.
