In 1976, Steve Wozniak designed a personal computer that could show color on a television, and Steve Jobs argued it should be a product, not a hobby. They formed Apple Computer on April 1 with Ronald Wayne, building the Apple I in a Los Altos garage and selling boards to enthusiasts. Wayne sold his share for eight hundred dollars almost immediately. The Apple II, launched in 1977, offered a molded case, color graphics, and expansion slots, becoming one of the first personal computers widely used in homes and classrooms. Apple went public in 1980. In 1984 the Macintosh introduced a graphical interface and a mouse to a mass audience. Jobs departed in 1985; after years of weaker results he returned in 1997, simplified the lineup, and led the iMac, iPod, and iPhone, which redefined consumer electronics and turned Apple into one of the most valuable companies on Earth.

Steve Wozniak, a Caucasian man with fair skin, a round open face, wide-set brown eyes, a broad nose, and a ready half-smile, medium-brown slightly wavy hair with a receding hairline at the temples, stocky medium-height build with rounded shoulders and large hands, sits on a wooden stool in a cluttered 1976 Los Altos garage, both hands resting on a homemade circuit board connected by ribbon cable to a small CRT television that still shows only gray static. He wears a plain short-sleeve plaid shirt, faded jeans, and brown sneakers, wire-free, leaning forward with anticipatory stillness. Foreground: soldering iron in its stand, loose ICs, a color-bar schematic on paper. Middle ground: the intact prototype and dark TV. Background: plywood shelves of parts, a parked car bumper at the open garage mouth, late-afternoon California light. semi-realistic anime / graphic novel hybrid style, realistic adult proportions, mature natural faces, clean bold linework, subtle cel shading and flat color, illustrated textures rather than photography, warm cinematic lighting, strong directional shadows, grounded detailed environment, dramatic serious tone, cinematic film-still composition. Vertical 9:16 single continuous garage space, full figure from head through both feet on concrete, no logos or readable text.
