Apple marks the 50th anniversary of its founding on April 1.
The tech giant is one of the world’s most valuable companies, known for innovative products like the iMac, iPhone, and iPod. Its storied past is one of incredible highs, including a $4 trillion market cap, and alarming lows, like its series of stumbles in the 1990s.
It’s had many leaders over the years — most notably Steve Jobs, who put the company on the map with his lofty ideas and unique leadership style. After Jobs stepped down from the position to focus on his health, Tim Cook took over as CEO and has guided the company through much success and turbulent times.
During Cook’s tenure, Apple has launched new products like the Apple Watch, Vision Pro, and AirPods. The company has also launched its own artificial intelligence software, Apple Intelligence.
Here’s a look at Apple’s history in photos, from its inception through its hard times to the triumphant return of Jobs and beyond.
