APPLE

Apple is one of the most popular tech brands. In 1976 apple was founded by three men: Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ron Wayne. The company came from an idea that Wozniak had to build his own microcomputer. He showed his design to a place that he was an engineering intern at the time, and they expressed no interest. He then involved Jobs who was his classmate at the time, and they moved the production to the Jobs family garage. Jobs then moved on to do the work of making the company successful with proper funding and management. The company became an immediate success, and they opened their first store May 19, 2001. There are now 518 apple stores in 25 countries.
