"That year, they were thrilled to sell 150 of those Apple I boards. Five decades later, its annual revenue approached $400 billion a year-more than Meta, Netflix, and Intel combined."
"While the general consensus is that from 1985 to 1996, Apple didn't do anything during those dark years, those 11 years when Jobs was gone were crucial to creating the products that define Apple's success today."

Apple was founded on April 1, 1976, by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ron Wayne, who created a partnership agreement. Initially, they sold 150 Apple I boards. By 2026, Apple's annual revenue is projected to approach $400 billion. The years from 1985 to 1996, often seen as unproductive, were crucial for developing key products like the PowerBook and QuickTime. The book 'Apple: The First 50 Years' reveals that this was not the first venture for Jobs and Wozniak and corrects several myths about the company's history.
