Apple's milestones over the past 48 years

Founded on April 1, 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, Apple is now 48 years old. Over the past nearly five decades, the company has been relentlessly working to change the world.

Apple is still working tirelessly to make the world of technology better.

Throughout Apple’s history, we’ve had a number of important devices that have marked an era, from the Macintosh to the iPhone, iPod, iPad, and Apple Watch. Now, the Vision Pro, Apple’s first space-based computer, shows that the company still wants to leave its mark on history. Let’s take a look back at some of the company’s notable devices over the past 48 years.

Macintosh

Released on January 24, 1984, the Mac is now 40 years old. The Macintosh is considered Apple's most important personal computer, with its development fraught with conflict that led to Jobs' ouster in 1985.

iPod

At the dawn of the digital music era, Jobs, Tony Fadell, Jon Rubinstein, chief designer Jonathan Ive and their team created a music management device called the iPod. The product allowed people to carry "1,000 songs in their pockets", becoming a key device that helped Apple become popular, especially with young people.

iPhone

In 2007, Apple introduced the world to its vision of the smartphone with the launch of the iPhone—a revolutionary device that ditched buttons and went all-in on a touchscreen, allowing for gestures like zooming. History has shown that the company was right with that design, which has become the basis for all smartphones to this day.

MacBook Air

In his epic 2008 keynote, Steve Jobs showed what the future of laptops would look like. The MacBook Air was an aluminum unibody design less than 2cm thick and weighed just 1kg. A revolutionary product that led the industry towards smaller, better-designed computers.

iPad

The iPad has been the best tablet in the world since its launch in 2010, a device that has evolved to be as powerful as a Mac and packed with advanced features to get the job done.

Apple Watch

Since its launch in 2015, the Apple Watch has been a revolutionary device. The company has been improving its sensors to measure more health parameters without forgetting the rest of the features that make it the best smartwatch on the market.

AirPods

AirPods completely revolutionized the headphone market when they launched in 2016 alongside the iPhone X. A device that seemed to come from the future and warned us that cables were a thing of the past. The vast majority of brands started releasing their own wireless headphones when they saw AirPods.

Vision Pro

The Vision Pro is Apple’s latest device. While it’s still early days to tell if it’s as revolutionary as the rest of the devices on this list, it’s clear that the company’s space computer is something completely unique. There’s nothing like it on the market, and it’s only the first version, so this latest attempt at a new space revolution is just getting started.

Not everything has been successful in these 48 years, the company almost went bankrupt in the mid-90s of the last century and the company canceled many important devices before launching them on the market. But overall, there are not many technology companies that have been able to deliver as many revolutionary devices as Apple.
