The History of Apple’s Innovation and How They Are Changing the World

When we think of Smart Phones and other forms of technology that simplify our lives, one of the first brands that usually come to mind is Apple. Although we literally see millions of Apple products being marketed and used across the globe these days, not many people are aware of just how humble the beginning stages of this company really were.

The Early Years

When Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniac decided to start and operate a small computer business from a garage in Cupertino, California in 1976, neither of them could have envisioned just how successful their venture would end up being. Their first 50 units were assembled by hand and then sold at the somewhat unusual price of $666.66 each at a local retail store. Since then however, the company has gone from strength to strength, selling millions of computer, laptop and iPhone units across the globe.

Introducing Mac to the World

The early 1980’s saw the very first Mac model being introduced to the computing world in the form of the entry level Macintosh. This particular model retailed at just under the $3000 mark and was soon replaced by the Macintosh XL a few years later. It was however discontinued in around 1986 and replaced by the Mac Plus model. 1994 saw the first editions of the PowerMacs being made available on the consumer market.

Branching Out to Other Product Lines

Gone are the days of the traditional Walkman portable cassette players and portable CD players. Apple has ensured that its clients are able to take thousands of their favorite music tracks or video clips wherever they go by means of their iPod product range. These devices are now available in a wide range of storage and color options and enable everyone from joggers to school children to listen to music without disturbing anyone else round them.

Staying Connected

The past few years have seen technological advancements like never before. This is evident with inventions such as Apple’s iPad range, which enable people to stay connected to the world around them, regardless of where they may

be. Never before have consumers been so spoiled for choice, with iPad’s extensive range of available options. Added advantages of these devices include the ability to take stunning photos while on the go while keeping up with developments at the office if you are unable to be there.

The Ever Popular iPhone

With millions of these units being in use across the world, it’s no surprise that the Apple iPhone has been listed as one of the most popular phones on the market. These phones enable users to do everything – from organizing a busy calendar, taking photos at your office function or even keeping track of your exercise routine by means of various apps. Although many people find these phones to be somewhat on the expensive side, rebates are often available for those who wish to upgrade to the latest models.

With the wide variety of cutting edge innovations that they have developed and released to date, Apple has shown that, when it comes to technology, virtually anything is possible these days. We can only wait and see what else Apple may have planned for release in the near future. For more information please visit: http://iphonesintocash.com
