Apple was founded on the simple notion that technology should be personal, and that belief \u2014 radical at the time \u2014 changed everything.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tApril 1st marks 50 years of Apple. From the first Apple computer to the Mac, from iPod to iPhone, iPad to Apple\u00a0Watch and AirPods, as well as the services we use every day \u2014 the App\u00a0Store, Apple\u00a0Music, Apple\u00a0Pay, iCloud, and Apple\u00a0TV \u2014 we\u2019ve spent five decades rethinking what\u2019s possible and putting powerful tools into people\u2019s hands. Through every breakthrough, one idea has guided us \u2014 that the world is moved forward by people who think different.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s because progress always begins with someone \u2014 an inventor or scientist, a student or storyteller \u2014 who imagines a better way, a new idea, a different path. That spirit has guided Apple from the start. But it has never belonged to us alone.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEvery invention we bring into the world is just the beginning of a story. The most meaningful chapters are written by all of you \u2014 the people who use our technology to work, learn, dream, and discover. You\u2019ve made breakthroughs and launched businesses. You\u2019ve cheered up loved ones in the hospital and captured your toddler\u2019s first steps. You\u2019ve run marathons, written books, and rekindled friendships. You\u2019ve chased your curiosity, found your new favorite song, and shared stories that connect us all.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn your hands, the tools we make have improved lives, and sometimes even saved them. And that is what inspires us \u2014 not what technology can do alone, but everything you can do with it.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAt Apple, we\u2019re more focused on building tomorrow than remembering yesterday. But we couldn\u2019t let this milestone pass without thanking the millions of people who make Apple what it is today \u2014 our incredible teams around the world, our developer community, and every customer who has joined us on this journey. Your ideas inspire our work. Your trust drives us to do better. Your stories remind us of all we can accomplish when we think different.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf you\u2019ve taught us anything, it\u2019s that the people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSo here\u2019s to the crazy ones.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe misfits.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"letter-spacing\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe rebels.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"letter-spacing\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe troublemakers.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"letter-spacing\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe round pegs in the square holes.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"letter-spacing\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe ones who see things differently.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHere\u2019s to you.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fifty years ago in a small garage, a big idea was born.
