A legacy of 50 years: From Apple II to Vision Pro
Apple is just not about gadgets, but it has dropped products that reset the whole game. The Apple II and Macintosh brought computers into people’s living rooms and offices. Then came the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad—each one turned its entire category upside down.
And now, Apple has been diving into new frontiers with gadgets like Apple Vision Pro, and it has been focusing on what customers want and has been working on a bigger-than-ever approach.
Services that power the Apple ecosystem
In addition to hardware, Apple has built a strong ecosystem of digital services that millions of users rely on every day.
Some of the most widely used Apple services include:
- App Store
- Apple Music
- Apple Pay
- iCloud
- Apple TV
These services act like glue, holding the Apple experience together. They make it simple to grab apps, stream music, pay for coffee, or stash your photos in the cloud.
