Apple Inc was established in Cupertino, California on April 1, 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Ronald Wayne. It was incorporated on January 3, 1977. Apple Inc was originally called Apple Computer Inc but in 2007 the dropped "Computer" because of its rapid expansion into other markets. The first computer that was built by Steve Wozniak was not a complete computer by todays standards, it was just a motherboard. It retailed for a little over $600.
The first Macintosh as we know it today, also known as the Macintosh 128k, was made in 1984. The first commercial Apple aired is also one of the most famous commercials ever aired which was based on Orwell's 1984 book. This commercial is said to be one of the major reason's behind the Macintosh computer's original success.
