The company that urges him to think that it is different is full of many more surprises than you think. Although it has become a widely accepted fact that Steve Jobs was a bit eclectic, the way he has made Apple, and the way in which the company continues its legacy is remarkable. Here are ten that you probably didn’t know about the world’s largest company.
Innocent’s Day was founded
Apple was founded as Apple Computer Company on April 1, 1976. It did not really become Apple Computer, Inc. until almost a year later, on January 3, 1977, but this date has accepted the long leg as the birth of Apple. There was also a third founder in the group, whose name is Ronald Wayne; He designed the first logo. Hello, it sold shares (10% of the company) for only $ 800 after 12 days. If I had done that, it would be a billionaire. Despite that fact, he says he does not regret it does not regret it. If you have ever wondered how the company was named, it is because Steve Jobs really had a bone enjoying the fruit with regime.
They did more than computers
Apple is more associated with the iPhone today, but that is like having a computer in the palm of your hand. Computers, he thought, is how the company began and will continually sell about 25 million per year. But, in the 80s, sales fell to such alarm pace, they tried their hand on some other devices. They made the first digital camera called Quicktake, and a video game console called Apple Pippin. For a short period of time delay of the 80s and 90s, Apple briefly had a clothing line.
They use crazy protection tactics
While this is little more than speculation, in the long term, it is widely accepted as a fact that Apple will use very interesting strategies to keep its products secret. He said leg said the company will come with false projects for individual employees or specific teams to work. This is done so that if information leaks can say exactly what was the source of the escape. When it is at the forefront of innovative technology such as Apple, it is vital to protect all the information that no other company can steal thunder. By intelligent, this feels slightly extreme.
Your probable will never work there
It’s nothing personal! When Apple opened its store at the Upper West Side in Manhattan a few years ago, around 10000 applicants submitted applications. Being realistic, that is too many employees for a store, but one of the largest companies that open new doors in such a highly populated area would demand a massive hiring round … I would think. Only 200 or those applicants were hired, which makes it an acceptance rate of 2%. While it is very different to apply to the most prestigious university in the world, so it is worth, Harvard’s acceptance rate was 7% that year.
Steve Jobs resigned
In 1985, John Sculley was Apple’s CEO, and Steve Jobs was an incredible niece in his favor. He tried to convince the current Board to get rid of Sculley, but instead they got rid of Steve Jobs. They stripped him of all his responsibilities, which angry him so much that he simply resigned. At that time, another computer company began. Then less than 100,000 units was sold, the duration is time as a unique entity, but the software created raided the way for all the iOS devices we use today. Apple bought next in 1996, bringing jobs and fusing software platforms.
Hey also did much less than you think
This is a bit misleading. Steve Jobs had more than five million APPLE shares, so he was still earning money quite constantly; However, during the last years he worked for the company before leaving in 2011, he launched a salary of only $ 1. Hello, this would be eligible for the company’s health policy. This was an intelligent movement taking into account all the personal health problems he was going through before his inopportune death. Apple’s shares were Werth $ 3.19 in 1997. When Steve Jobs retired almost thirty years later, they had a value of $ 365 each.
They have more money than the United States Treasury
According to the most recent report, the United States Treasury has around $ 171 billion available at this time. While that is a lot of money for most or us, Apple has more. The company has almost $ 250 billion in cash. That is enough to buy an iPhone for everyone in the United States at this time; Or, if they keep it so generous, it is also enough to buy 3,169 Gulf Gulf Stream G650 and have enough to spend them. If they wanted now, Apple could buy Uber, Twitter, Facebook and … anything they wanted.
They really like riddles
You know how difficult it is to get a job in an Apple store, which is Fair The retail location and the genius bar. What about the rest of the company? It is surprisingly much more difficult. The questions of your interview include deep and hard thinking questions like “Who is your best friend?” But they also include some questions truly out of the wall like this: “You have 100 coins placed on a table, each with the head of the head and one side of the tail. 10 of them are heads, 90 are OINS. Two batteries in such a way that they are the same number of heads in each pile.
They don’t really like cigarettes
When your Apple device breaks, renounces or meets an unfortunate ending, the first thing you do is run to Apple’s store to see what they can do. If you have Apple Care, this is a fairly affordable exchange, if not, it is not affordable, but it is much cheaper than having to buy something new. The reason they will replace the device without Apple Care is that they are still under guarantee. But are they? At the end of the 2000s, Apple was rejecting the imaces because when it opened, they showed second -hand smoke signs. It’s true! Second -hand smoke is considered a danger to health and can cancel a perfectly valid guarantee on your device. Today, the IMAC Pro i7 4K is impressive.
It’s 9:41 am
Did you know that the ‘i’ in IMAC was originally the Internet? Of course, now the letter leans more towards imagination or innovation, but this was true in a moment. There are many symbols in which Steve Jobs has slipped over the years, and one of them is this jewel. In iPhone commercials, time on the phone is always at 9:41 in the morning. It was curious, but I never cared to investigate. But now the truth comes out. The first iPhone was presented on January 9, 2007. Of course, at 9:41 am
