introduction-
Apple was founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne in April 1976 to develop and sell
Wozniak's Apple I personal computer, though Wayne sold his share back within 12 days. It was incorporated
as Apple Computer, Inc., in January 1977, and sales of its computers, including the Apple II, grew quickly. Within a
few years, Jobs and Wozniak had hired a staff of computer designers and had a production line. Apple went public in
1980 to instant financial success. Over the next few years, Apple shipped new computers featuring
innovative graphical user interfaces, such as the original Macintosh in 1984, and Apple's marketing advertisements
for its products received widespread critical acclaim. However, the high price of its products and limited application
library caused problems, as did power struggles between executives. In 1985, Wozniak departed Apple amicably and
remained an honorary employee,[8] while Jobs and others resigned to found NeXT.[9]

Apple is well known for its size and revenues. Its worldwide annual revenue totaled $265 billion for the 2018 fiscal
year. Apple is the world's largest information technology company by revenue and the world's third-largest mobile
phone manufacturer after Samsungand Huawei.[10] In August 2018, Apple became the first public U.S. company to be
valued at over $1 trillion.[11][12] The company employs 123,000 full-time employees[13] and maintains 504 retail stores in
24 countries as of 2018.[14] It operates the iTunes Store, which is the world's largest music retailer. As of
January 2018, more than 1.3 billion Apple products are actively in use worldwide. [15]The company also has a high
level of brand loyalty and is ranked as the world's most valuable brand. However, Apple receives significant
criticism regarding the labor practices of its contractors, its environmental practices and unethical business practices,
including anti-competitive behavior, as well as the origins of source materials.

By the end of the 1970s, Apple had a staff of computer designers and a production line. The company introduced
the Apple III in May 1980 in an attempt to compete with IBM and Microsoft in the business and corporate computing
market.[40] Jobs and several Apple employees, including human–computer interface expert Jef Raskin, visited Xerox
PARC in December 1979 to see a demonstration of the Xerox Alto. Xerox granted Apple engineers three days of
access to the PARC facilities in return for the option to buy 100,000 [citation needed] shares (5.6 million split-adjusted shares
as of March 30, 2019)[29] of Apple at the pre-IPO price of $10 a share.[41]
