Apple is commemorating a significant achievement today as the prominent US tech company reaches its 50th anniversary. Established on April 1, 1976, by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Apple had its beginnings in Jobs’ parents’ residence and garage in Los Altos, California, where they introduced their inaugural product, the Apple 1.
At the time of creating this personal computer, the future success of the brand was unforeseeable. Apple has evolved from a mere computer business to creating iconic devices such as the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
The team at The Verge has been polling its audience to determine Apple’s greatest hits, and the outcomes have been surprising. The original iPhone, which debuted in 2007, has claimed the top position. This device has become Apple’s most sought-after product, facilitating communication, entertainment, digital payments, and capturing memories through its integrated cameras.
The iconic iPod, which revolutionized the music industry in 2001 with the slogan “1,000 songs in your pocket,” secures the second spot. Before its introduction, people were burdened with carrying around bulky tape or CD players.
The Verge readers have unexpectedly placed Apple’s M1 PC chip in third place, acknowledging its impact on the way users engage with Apple’s computers by offering enhanced performance and efficiency.
