Apple Inc., formerly Apple Computer, Inc. US-based manufacturer of personal computers, smartphones, tablet computers, computer peripherals and computer software.
Created by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs in 1976 (founded on April Fool's Day). They were high-school classmates.
In 2011, Apple's financial reserves were greater than the U.S. Treasury's operating cash balance.
Fun fact about the company’s logo: the legend goes that founders decided to take a bite out of the apple because they didn’t want people to mistake it for a cherry.
