1. Sir Isaac Newton
While we know the rainbow apple to be the most famous logo, it was not the first one. According to sources, the first logo of Apple was Isaac Newton with an Apple about to fall on his head. Due to the level of detail that would have gone into making that logo small, it was scrubbed.
It was made by one of Apple’s initial stakeholders, Ronald Wayne. He was also one of the founders!
2. Selling A Calculator:
To gather and have the capital for the company, Steve Wozniak sold his scientific calculator. While this may not seem quite a lot now, it was a huge deal back then when such calculators were rare. To build the first of the parts for Apple I, this calculator was sold.
Imagine what it might have been worth today if it was $700 back then!
3. Apple I:
These days, the price tags on Apple products can be considered high. Back then, they were also considered quite a hefty investment. The Apple I was sold for $666 simply because it was easier to type. Imagine setting a price of a product because of convenience!
