Apple

The First 50 Years
Book •
David Pogue's 'Apple: The First 50 Years' chronicles the evolution of Apple from its founding through five decades of products, culture, and leadership changes.

Drawing on numerous interviews and archival material, Pogue presents a readable corporate history that highlights pivotal products, behind-the-scenes engineering stories, and the personalities who shaped the company.

The book balances well-known anecdotes with fresh reporting, particularly in earlier eras where sources were more forthcoming.

Pogue pays special attention to landmark moments like the development of the Mac, iPod, and iPhone while situating them within broader business and cultural contexts.

The volume is richly illustrated and aimed at both longtime Apple fans and readers seeking a single-volume history of the company.
