Apple Inc. was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne. Jobs and Wozniak had withdrawn from college and designed the Apple I computer in Jobs' garage. They later incorporated Apple Computer Inc. and released the Apple II, which was a commercial success. Jobs was later forced out of the company but returned in 1996 after Apple bought his new company NeXT. Under Jobs' leadership, Apple introduced revolutionary products like the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad that redefined consumer electronics and digital distribution. Today, Apple is one of the world's largest technology companies in terms of revenue and profits.
