Today’s popular Apple Inc. was incorporated as Apple Computer Inc. in 1977 (founded and started operation since 1976) to sell Apple I personal computer. Steve Jobs founded Apple Computer Inc. with Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, to sell the computer (Apple I) that was single handedly designed and hand built by Steve Wozniak. Apple I was followed by many successors till Jobs realised GUI is going to be the future of Computers. And the journey began to shape up the roughly designed computers and enhance the user experience.

It was conceptualised long before in 1991 when Jonathan I've, working on his first project at Apple, created a design for a stylus based tablet and named it as the Macintosh Folio. This base design was worked on and kept on modifications to reach to the iPad.
