Apple Inc., formerly known as Apple Computer, Inc.

, is an American producer of desktop and laptop

computers, mobile phones, tablets, computer accessories, and software. It was the first prosperous
personal computer business and helped make the graphical user interface more common. At Apple
Park, a large circular groundscraper edifice with a one-mile radius in Cupertino, California's Silicon
Valley, Apple Inc.'s global corporate headquarters are situated (1.6 km). In the facility, which was
completed in April 2017, there are more than 12,000 workers. In his final public appearance before
his passing, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs personally proposed to the Cupertino City Council in June
2011 that Apple Park resemble a nature preserve rather than a corporate park.

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, two college dropouts with a mission to transform how people saw
computers, created Apple Computers, Inc. on April 1, 1976. Computers needed to be made small
enough for people to use them in their homes or workplaces, according to Jobs and Wozniak. Simply
put, they desired a user-friendly computer. In the beginning, Jobs and Wozniak constructed the
Apple I in Jobs' garage and sold them without a display, keyboard, or case (which they decided to
add on in 1977). The Apple II introduced the first color graphics, which completely changed the
computer industry. Sales increased dramatically between 1978 and 1980, when Apple went public,
from $7.8 million to $117 million. Due to a declining interest in how Apple Computers was being run
on a daily basis, Wozniak departed the company in 1983. John Sculley, the head of PepsiCo, was
then hired by Jobs. However, this strategy backfired, and Jobs resigned in 1985 and moved on to
greater and better things after much conflict with Sculley. The business took off right away,
especially after Wozniak developed a disk controller that made it possible to add a cheap
floppy disk drive, which made information storage and retrieval quick and reliable. The
Apple II was the computer of choice for hordes of aspiring programmers since it had enough
space for data storage and manipulation.
In 2021, Apple had 154,000 total employees, a 4.76% rise from the previous year. The Apple Inc.
