Namhlanje ngo-Epreli 1, oko kuthetha ukuba sisikhumbuzo sika-Apple. Nangona kunjalo, lo msitho ukhethekile kuba akukho nto ingaphaya kwaye akukho nto ingaphantsi kweminyaka engamashumi amane idlulile okoko abantu abancinci kunye nomtyali-mali basungula iApple Inc. Ngesi sizathu, sifuna ukunikezela uthotho oluncinci lwamanqaku kule nto yeyona nkampani ibaluleke kakhulu namhlanje. emhlabeni, ukukhumbula kwiminyaka elishumi awona maxesha akhe amnandi kunye neyona mibi. Hlala nathi kwaye ufumene inqaku ngalinye ngembali yenkampani eyenze isixhobo esinika iwebhusayithi yethu igama layo. Ibali lika-Apple uxelelwe ngokweenkcukacha.
Epreli 1, 1976, ukuqala kwexesha
USteve Jobs noSteve Wozniaks bayazana kancinane, besenza amanyathelo abo okuqala ngeebhokisi ezincinci ezivumela ukuba ziqhekeze inkqubo yefowuni kwaye ngenxa yoko zenze ukuba iifowuni zamazwe aphesheya zikhululeke ngokupheleleyo. Yile ndlela uSteve Jobs, encediswa nguSteve Wozniak, abize ngayo uPopu eVatican. Nangona kunjalo, ngaphandle kwento yokuba u-Wozniak akazange aluthande uluvo lokwenza imali nge-elektroniki (wayesebenzela i-HP ngelo xesha), uSteve Jobs wayidibanisa yonke, waze wakhangela nomtyali mali ukuze axhase iphupha lakhe, umbono. ukuzisa ikhompyuter yakho kwikhaya ngalinye, yile ndlela uRonald Wayne azibandakanye ngayo noApple.
Ukuhlala kukaRonald Wayne eApple kwakwexeshana, ngaphandle kokuba wayilahla incwadana yomsebenzisi yeApple I kwaye wabonisa ilogo yokuqala yenkampani (ayisiyiyo eyaziwayo ngabantu abaninzi), ukungaqiniseki akunako, akazange afune ukuphulukana imali ngaphandle kwetyala, ke wathengisa izabelo zakhe nge $ 800 kwiiveki nje ezimbalwa emva koko. Inyaniso oya kuhlala uzisola ngayo, kuba namhlanje baya kuba nexabiso elikufutshane ne-6.000 yezigidi zeedola.
Ke, uSteve Wozniak, kuphela kwaba babini uStevens onolwazi olwaneleyo lokuphuhlisa uhlobo, ngoncedo lukaSteve Jobs wakha iApple I yokuqala, isixhobo esiboniswe kwiklabhu yeKhompyuter yasekhaya. Emva kokunyanzelwa kukaSteve Jobs yaqala ukuthengiswa nge $ 666,66 emva kokuveliswa kweeyunithi ezingama-200 kwigaraji yosapho yeMisebenzi edumileyo. Ikhompyuter yayilula ngokugqithileyo, yayingenamandla kakhulu, kodwa yayiyikhompyuter encinci kwaye isebenzayo eyayiza kuvumela nawuphi na umsebenzisi ukuba nayo ekhaya, kwaye yeyona nto ibalaseleyo.
Ukufika kukaMike Markkula okhokelele kwi-Apple II
Kwakukho ngo-1976 xa i-Apple yakhula ngokukhawuleza, umgidi-mali efuna utyalo-mali wafumanisa uSteve Jobs kwaye emva kwentlanganiso kwigumbi lokuhlala losapho wa-Jobs waphela enganikeli nto kwaye engenanto ingaphantsi kwama-250.000 eedola ngelo xesha kwi-stock capital ye-Apple, eyasekwa ngokusemthethweni Inkampani iApple Inc ngo-Epreli 1, 1976.
Ukuthengiswa kweApple ndavumela uWozniak ukuba enze ikhompyuter awayenokuyakha kunye nezithintelo ezincinci kwezemali. Ke, iApple II yazalwa, yaziswa ngo-Epreli 1977, yaba ngumgangatho wento ekufuneka ikhompyuter yakho ibe yiyo, yaqulunqa umxholo wesixhobo kude kube lelo xesha sasisikelwe umda kwiinkampani, kwaye abaninzi babona ukusetyenziswa okusebenzayo ekhaya. Kwakunesidingo sokwenza umfanekiso obambekayo ngakumbi xa iApple yathatha isigqibo sokutshintsha ilogo yayo iye kule yangoku, iapile elilumkileyo, elinentsingiselo efanayo kodwa linomfanekiso ohlaziyekileyo.
Emva kwexesha, ngo-1979 i-Apple yayiza kuhlaziya kancinci izixhobo ze-Apple II, kunye nenkumbulo eyandisiweyo kunye nenkqubo ye-BASIC. Wonke umntu wayefuna iApple II ekhaya, yayisesona sixhobo siluncedo solawulo lwasekhaya ngaloo mhla, sibiza amaxabiso ngaphakathi kwemida. Ayisiyiyo loo nto kuphela, abahlaseli basekhaya bayayithanda iApple II, bafumene izinto ezingapheliyo zehardware yasekhaya kunye nesoftware, konke oku kukhokelele ekubeni iApple II ibe yimpumelelo, enyanisweni, yayisisisixhobo esabavumela ukuba baqhubeke bedada inkampani ngamaxesha anzima.
Ukusilela kwe-Apple III kunye nokuchithwa kukaLisa
USteve Jobs akazange ayeke, wayesele ephuhlisa oza kungena ezihlangwini zakhe ngempumelelo u-Apple II, kwaye I-Apple III yafika ngoMeyi 1980, Imodeli engenamdla eyayiyintsilelo, kunye nentengiso engalunganga ngenxa yokwakhiwa okungalunganga. Ngapha koko, iApple ihlaziye imodeli ngo-1983 isombulula ezi ngxaki, kodwa abathengi babengalamkeli igama elibi lemodeli yangaphambili.
Ke, iApple igqibe kwelokuba iqhubeke ngokuvelisa ngaphandle kwayo yonke iApple II, eyona ntsika iphambili yenkxaso yayo yezoqoqosho, ngelixa ixhasa ngemali iiprojekthi zikaLisa neMacintosh. Omabini la maqela ayekhuphisana ngolunya ngenxa kaSteve JobsNjengoko iqela lolawulo lika-Apple lalijonga iprojekthi kaLisa njengengafezekiseki ngenxa yezizathu ezininzi, ezakhokelela ukuba imisebenzi ibandakanye iiflegi zepirate kwiofisi yakhe yonke. Ngenxa yokugqitha kwemisebenzi, imveliso yalibaziseka ngakumbi nangakumbi, ngelixa kwezinye iiofisi zeApple iMacintosh yokuqala yaqhubela phambili. Ke, ngo-1983 wafika uLisa, ikhompyuter enegama lentombi kaSteve Jobs, ngexabiso elingenangqondo le- $ 10.000. Ukungaphumeleli kwakhe kukhokelele kurhoxe emsebenzini kukaMike Markkula, okwakhokelela kwimisebenzi enikezela ubongameli buka-Apple kwisekela-mongameli wangoku wePepsi, indlela aqinisekisa ngayo ukuba uJohn Scully wayenomdla:
Ngaba ukhetha ukuchitha bonke ubomi bakho uthengisa amanzi aneswekile okanye unethuba lokutshintsha umhlaba?
Ukufika kweMacintosh efuna ukutshintsha umhlaba
NgoJanuwari 24, 1984 iApple yazisa iMacintosh yokuqala. Kunye Intengiso eyaziwayo kumabonakude uninzi lwenu luyayazi, ngexesha leNkulumbuso yeSuper Bowl, ekhokelwa nguRidley Scott. Nangona kunjalo, nangona yayinokwamkelwa okuhle kwasekuqaleni, iMacintosh yaqala ukuwela kwintengiso, ixabiso layo le- $ 2.495 likhatshwa yinto yokuba yayine-128KB ye-RAM kuphela kwaye amazibuko ambalwa angenayo ayenza ukuba ingathandwa.
Yonke into yaqala ukungahambi kakuhle eAppleIinzame zokuphehlelela izixhobo zeMacintosh ezingathengiswanga ziyaqhubeka, ngelixa ukuthengiswa kweApple II (intsika yezoqoqosho yenkampani) nayo kwaqala ukuba yintsalela. Emva komzabalazo wamandla ngo-1985 phakathi kukaSteve Jobs noJohn Sculley, nge-10 ka-Epreli 1985, iBhodi yabaLawuli yeApple yagqiba kwelokuba irhoxise yonke imisebenzi yakhe yolawulo kuSteve Jobs. Esi sibetho sinzima sikhokelele ekumkeni ngokuzithandela kweMisebenzi kwinkampani ukuya kufumanisa okulandelayo.
Ungaphoswa yifakelo elandelayo yeli bali lika-Apple libaliswe kwiminyaka elishumi kwi-chunks ngo-13.00: XNUMX p.m. Ungalahli iinkcukacha malunga nokuba yeyiphi eyona nkampani ibalulekileyo emhlabeni ekhule ngayo, yabandezeleka, yawa kwaye yazalwa ngokutsha.
