The device, which was first introduced at the Homebrew Computer Club, was essentially a DIY kit that didn’t even have a case. What would eventually become Apple I (shown below) was ready by 1976. While initially Woz helped Jobs - who was working with Atari at time - with his office project, soon they started working on a PC. In 1974, Woz invited Jobs - who had just come back from a spiritual trip to India - to join the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto. However, they gave up the venture after police started tightening the noose around them. Unsurprisingly, the device became popular, especially among criminals, with Jobs and Woz selling units for a total of $6,000. If we wouldn’t have made blue boxes, there would have been no Apple.” “Experiences like that taught us the power of ideas.
“It was the magic that two teenagers could build this box for $100 worth of parts and control 100’s of billions of dollars of infrastructure in the entire telephone network in the whole world,” Jobs said later in a 1995 interview.

The association between Jobs and Wozniak, in particular, dates back to 1971, when they first met at Hewlett-Packard - where Wozniak worked - through a mutual friend.īoth of them started a business in 1972 that saw them selling a device called “blue box” which allowed users to illegally make free long-distance calls on AT&T’s network, and that too without getting traced. It all started back in 1976, when college drop-outs Steve Jobs and Stephen Wozniak, along with their friend Ronald Wayne established a company named Apple Computer. So, we thought it’s the correct time to take a quick look at the company’s history, with, of course, special focus on Jobs. Just recently, Apple unveiled its newest iPhones - the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, and on the other hand Aaron Sorkin's and Danny Boyle's Steve Jobs, which received a thumbs up in special screenings, is set to release on October 9.
