Steve Jobs on Apple History

Jobs repeatedly presents Apple as a company born from making computers usable, beautiful, and distinctive, from the garage-era Apple I and Apple II to the Macintosh and later comebacks. He also ties Apple’s history to specific turning points: the Wozniak partnership, his firing and return, and his belief that Apple had to keep innovating or lose its purpose.

“In 1976, we founded the great Apple company in my garage.”
“I thought about it again and concluded that if it wasn't for the Blue Box, there wouldn't be Apple today.”
