Apple was founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne in April 1976 to develop and sell personal computers. It was incorporated as Apple Computer, Inc. in January 1977, and was renamed as Apple Inc. in January 2007 to reflect its shifted focus toward consumer electronics. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) joined the Dow Jones Industrial Average in March 2015.
But as the computer that gave birth to the Apple empire, including the MacBook, iPod, iPhone and iPad, it is among the most prized Apple products in the world. The first ever Apple computer which founder Steve Jobs sold from his parents' garage is expected to fetch Â£250,000 at auction. The Apple 1, the first ready-made PC to ever come on the market, was created by Jobs and fellow founder Steve Wozniak in 1976.
