brought to the new company a vision of changing the
way people viewed computers. Jobs and Wozniak
wanted to make computers small enough for people to
have them in their homes or offices. Simply put, they
wanted a computer that was user-friendly.

Jobs' garage and sold them without a monitor, keyboard,

share suffered slowly after its peak in 1990 and by 1996, experts believed the company to be
doomed. Jobs, then decided to make some changes around Apple. He forged an alliance with
Microsoft to create a Mac version of its popular office software. Not long after this decision was

personal laptop) followed by iPod, an mp3 player, which became market leader.

successful products and the company has released several new versions since. Other popular
products include iPad tablet and Apple Watch. Most recently Apple has expanded its services
segments with its credit card (Apple Card), Apple News for news, Apple Arcade for games and
the Apple TV+ for streaming original content produced by Apple. The popularity of iPhones
made Apple the first company valued at one trillion dollars in 2018 and two years later it
doubled that figure.
