Apple developed the iPhone and introduced the Macintosh computer.
Apple introduced the Macintosh in 1984, presenting it as a personal computer with a graphical user interface and mouse-based interaction. The iPhone arrived in 2007, combining a mobile phone, internet communicator, and touchscreen media device in one product.
The company’s market value has been supported by a large ecosystem spanning hardware, software, and services. Products such as the iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods connect with services including iCloud, Apple Music, and the App Store.
The Macintosh and iPhone are sometimes confused with products created by other major technology companies. Microsoft developed Windows, IBM created the IBM PC, and Google developed Android, although Android runs on phones made by many manufacturers.
