Five Apple anecdotes as iPhone maker marks 50 years

Apple highlights five pivotal moments including its founding trio, iconic 1984 Super Bowl ad, and design innovations that shaped consumer technology over 50 years.

  • On April 1, Apple celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking five decades since Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne signed the company's founding contract in 1976.
  • Just 11 days after launch, Wayne relinquished his co-founder status due to financial fears, selling his 10 percent stake for $800 and $1,500.
  • Designer Rob Janoff created the logo in 1977 after Jobs ordered him not to "make it cute," adding a bite for scale to distinguish the apple from similar fruit.
  • Director Ridley Scott's one-minute 1984 Super Bowl advert reached tens of millions, using dystopian imagery to promise consumer emancipation rather than directly showcasing the Apple computer.
  • Apple has historically deployed bold colors and careful staging—from transparent 1998 iMacs to the 2015 rose gold iPhone—shaping global technology industry standards and consumer expectations for five decades.
