The ENTIRE History of Apple in 24 Minutes

Apple was months from bankruptcy in 1997. What saved it wasn't a new product. It was a whiteboard, a grid of four boxes, and a long list of things to kill. This is the complete history of Apple: how a $666.66 circuit board from a Los Altos garage became a company that takes in about $13,000 every second. Real dates, real numbers, and the people the legend left out. In this documentary: • How Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak turned a hobby club project into a business • Ronald Wayne, the third founder who sold his 10% stake for $800 • The Byte Shop order that gave Apple its first real customer • Mike Markkula, the investor who made Apple a real company • The Apple II, VisiCalc, and the 1980 IPO • Why Jobs was forced out of his own company in 1985 • The lost years, the failed products, and the near-collapse of 1997 • The decision that saved Apple, and the iMac that followed • The iPod, the iPhone, and the App Store • The scandals, lawsuits, and antitrust fights of the Tim Cook era • Apple today: the numbers behind the empire Apple was never really built on what it made. It was built on what it refused to make. Sources • Apple Inc.
