21岁时，史蒂夫·乔布斯和他的朋友史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克（Stephen Wozniak）共同制作了一台名为苹果的个人计算机。苹果计算机改变了人们对计算机的看法，从仅限于大型真空管的大企业和政府使用的庞然大物，变成了普通人也能使用的小型计算机。没有公司比苹果计算机做得更多，去普及计算机并使其用户友好。两年后，乔布斯开发了苹果II。苹果II在接下来的五年中，是家庭和小型企业计算机的最佳选择。乔布斯在硅谷被视为一个有远见的年轻人，因为他看到了计算机行业未来的需求。个人计算机的诞生源于1970年代的硬件革命，而下一个重大变革将来自软件革命，乔布斯说。

乔布斯是1955年被保罗和克拉拉·乔布斯收养的孤儿。在高中时期，乔布斯曾在惠普电子公司听讲座。他在那里做了一个夏季员工，并遇到了另一位员工沃兹尼亚克，沃兹尼亚克对发明电子设备有天赋。1972年，乔布斯高中毕业后进入了俄勒冈州波特兰的里德学院。退学后，他在校园附近待了一年，学习哲学。1974年初，乔布斯接受了为雅达利公司设计电子游戏的工作。但他真正关注的是电子业务的技术方面，并说服了沃兹尼亚克与他一起致力于制作个人计算机。他们卖掉了所有的东西，筹集了1300美元来启动他们的新公司。凭借这些资本和从当地电子供应商那里乞求来的信用，他们建立了第一条生产线。乔布斯将他们新公司的名字定为苹果，以纪念他在俄勒冈州作为果园工人度过的愉快夏天。
