Apple Inc. is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Cupertino, California.


As of March 2023, Apple is the world's biggest company by market capitalization,[6] and
with US$394.3 billion the largest technology company by 2022 revenue.[7] As of June 2022, Apple is
the fourth-largest personal computer vendor by unit sales; the largest manufacturing company by
revenue; and the second-largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world. It is considered one of
the Big Five American information technology companies, alongside Alphabet (parent company
of Google), Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft.
Apple was founded as Apple Computer Company on April 1, 1976, by Steve Wozniak, Steve
Jobs and Ronald Wayne to develop and sell Wozniak's Apple I personal computer. It was
incorporated by Jobs and Wozniak as Apple Computer, Inc. in 1977. The company's second
computer, the Apple II, became a best seller and one of the first mass-produced microcomputers.
Apple went public in 1980 to instant financial success. The company developed computers featuring
innovative graphical user interfaces, including the 1984 original Macintosh, announced that year in a
critically acclaimed advertisement called "1984". By 1985, the high cost of its products, and power
struggles between executives, caused problems. Wozniak stepped back from Apple and pursued
other ventures, while Jobs resigned and founded NeXT, taking some Apple employees with him.
As the market for personal computers expanded and evolved throughout the 1990s, Apple lost
considerable market share to the lower-priced duopoly of the Microsoft Windows ope
