On 10 June 1977, Apple Computer made a significant mark in computing history by shipping its first Apple II computers.

This pioneering product, developed by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, represented a monumental leap in personal computing.

The Apple II featured a sleek, plastic case and an integrated keyboard, distinguishing it from the more primitive, hobbyist-oriented machines of its time.

Equipped with a colour display, expandable memory, and the capacity to connect to a cassette tape drive for data storage, the Apple II offered unprecedented versatility and ease of use for consumers and small businesses alike.

Its user-friendly design and powerful functionality helped it become a cornerstone in the rapid growth of the personal computer industry, cementing Apple’s place as a key innovator and market leader in technology.
