Brand: Apple (3 machines)

A bit of history

Apple Computer was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne with the ambition of making computers accessible beyond laboratories and specialist workshops. The Apple I was followed by the highly successful Apple II, one of the machines that established the personal-computer market.

In 1984 the Macintosh brought the graphical user interface and mouse-driven computing to a much wider audience. After a difficult period during the 1990s, Apple returned to prominence through the iMac and a renewed focus on industrial design. The foundations created by the Macintosh later expanded into a closely integrated ecosystem of computers, mobile devices, software and services.
