”Apple Computer Company”, remembering a happy summer when Jobs picked apples.

In 1976, Wozniak invented the Apple I computer. They received funding from an Intel engineer and

started to sell the computers. However, because of disappointing sales and Jobs’s difficult relationship

with the company, he stopped coming to work and resigned as chairman in 1985. Jobs founded NeXT

Inc. after his resignation with $7 million. In 1996, Apple decided to buy NeXT for $427 million and

the iPod portable music player and other new products. On June 29, 2007, Apple entered the cellular

phone business with the introduction of the iPhone.
