Apple, one of the world's most valuable companies by market cap, was co-founded by which two Steves?

Apple was co-founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976.

The company began with Jobs, Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, who briefly participated in the original partnership. Wozniak designed and built the Apple I computer, while Jobs helped develop its product vision and business direction. Apple Computer Company was formally established on April 1, 1976.

Apple's early success came from the Apple II, introduced in 1977. The Macintosh followed in 1984, bringing a graphical user interface and mouse-controlled interaction to a wider consumer market. Decades later, the iPhone, introduced in 2007, transformed Apple's scale and made it one of the world's most valuable publicly traded companies.

A common mix-up is identifying Ronald Wayne as one of the two principal co-founders. He was an early co-founder, but the standard answer to this question names Jobs and Wozniak. Jobs died in 2011; Wozniak remains associated with Apple as an engineering pioneer.
