Vital roles that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak played in his time with the tech giant
If you are an Apple fan, then you know of Steve Jobs and the roles he played at Apple during his time. However, another top player at the company was its co-founder, Steve Wozniak. During his time at Apple, he got the name “The Woz” and made a lot of early steps for the company.
You can’t go on talking about Apple’s history without making mention of this remarkable force. Back in 1976, Steve Jobs and “The Woz” teamed up to build the first Apple Computer that laid the groundwork for the company’s birth. During this period, the partnership between these two men brought Steve Jobs to the face of Apple.
Steve Wozniak, on the other hand, is the man behind the creation of the Apple I and Apple II devices. These were computers that went up against the competition from IBM back in the day. The Woz also co-developed the Macintosh system on which these computers ran.
His role at Apple was cut short after leaving the company in 1985. Following his exit from the company, Steve Jobs also lost his job while under the control of their then-CEO, John Sculley. Well, this wasn’t The Woz’s last days in the tech industry as he went on to make other significant moves and inventions.
Ever since his exit from Apple, the company has gone on to achieve a lot of things in the industry thanks to its solid foundation. Steve Wozniak’s role in the tech ecosystem is one that many people reckon with. It’s a thing of joy to learn that he is now recovering from the incident that took place a few days ago.
