Apple’s history is filled with significant turning points, from the launch of Lisa, the groundbreaking computer in 1983 to the introduction of the Mac in 1984. Several of Apple’s most noteworthy events are highlighted here. The first WWDC was held in 1983, initially called Apple’s Independent Software Developers Conference. During the proceedings, attendees were privy to their first look at the Lisa, the first personal desktop computer with a graphical interface named after co-founder Steve Jobs’ daughter.
In 1997, when Steve Jobs returned to Apple, he received a standing ovation from the audience during a keynote speech, signifying a shift in the company’s direction, which was at risk of bankruptcy at the time. A year later, the first iMac was introduced and became a hit with its colorful design and ease of use, quickly catching the public’s attention.
Jobs’ impactful product demonstrations have turned some of these events into historic moments. In 1999, Jobs demonstrated the Wi-Fi capabilities of the iBook, and in 2001, he introduced the iPod at an intimate event. The iPhone, unveiled in 2007, remains one of Apple’s best-selling products, and the iPad, introduced in 2010, surprised audiences with its affordable price and innovative features.
In 2011, Tim Cook took over as Apple’s CEO, introducing the Apple Watch as the company’s new product category. Cook’s management style and the introduction of new products have continued to shape Apple’s history. In 2023, Cook unveiled the Vision Pro, the company’s first mixed reality headset, during the WWDC conference. The headset is expected to be released in 2024 at a price of $3,499
These events have significantly impacted Apple’s trajectory, showcasing the company’s innovative spirit and technological advancements throughout the years.
