Apple was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. It launched pioneering products like the Apple I and II in the 1970s-1980s but struggled in the 1990s with the rise of Windows PCs. Under Steve Jobs' return, Apple launched hugely successful products starting with the iPod in 2001, followed by the iPhone in 2007 and iPad in 2010, which have made Apple the most valuable company in the world with over $1 trillion market capitalization.

iOS, owned a little over half the market. Now they own more than 80
percent of it.
 Of the 152.3 million smartphones shipped in the calendar quarter ending in
March, 59 percent had Android on them and 23 percent ran Apple iOS,
 In addition, both platforms have been able to build robust developer
communities.
 Android might be leading the smartphone market with over 107.8 million
UNITS, but it seems that Apple is winning where Android is losing in the
tablet game.
 Apple built upon its strong March iPad launch and ended the quarter with its
best-ever shipment total for the iPad, outrunning even the impressive
.shipment record it set in the fourth quarter of last year,”
