TRANSCRIPT
Apple Inc., is an American multinational corporation that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software and personal computers.
Apple was established on April 1, 1976, by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne to sell the Apple I personal computer kit.
1975 – Steve Wozniak was working for Hewlett Packard (calculator manufacturers) by day and was a computer hobbyist by night.
He realized that the prices of some computer parts had gotten so low he could buy them himself.
Decided to work with fellow hobbyist Steve Jobs to build their own computer
On 4/1/1976 – released the Apple I (for $666) and started Apple Computers. It had 8 KB of RAM.
According to Steve Jobs, Apple was so named because Jobs was coming back from an apple farm, and he was on a fruitarian diet. He thought the name was "fun, spirited and not intimidating".

More settling with rivals.
•If 2012 was the year of nasty court fights, 2013 will be the year of peace.
•We already had a taste of that with the 10-year truce announced between Apple and HTC in November.
•I think there's a good chance we'll see the same from two remaining fights Apple's in with rivals.
• The company has a set-top box, but it's not for plugging into your cable.
• Instead, its main purpose is to connect with Apple's digital stores, along with third-party streaming services.
• We are planning to launch • a full-fledged TV set• smarter set-top box• better ways to view TV programming and control
basic TV functions.
iWatch•Apple is experimenting with wristwatch-like devices made of curved glass.•Such a watch would operate Apple’s iOS platform.•Which may include maps, facetime, app-store, music player, front camera, notes, calculator, calendar and much more.
Samsung produces 25 kinds of smartphones - market share of 28% - first quarter 2012, while we sell only one smartphone and had about 19% of market share in smartphone category.
If we introduce smartphones of low and middle range we can surely rule the world in mobile phone category, but we don't want to become our own competitor.
And our company aimed to provide the best, not the cheapest since its beginning.
We are leader in tablet category and Walkman category.
Our iPhone is one of the largest selling mobile phone in the world.
Our app store is the biggest app store of the world with more than 25 billion downloads till date.
We have the thinnest and lightest laptop and the most advanced personal computer.
In 2010, our reserve was more then the reserve of US government.
Our total revenue is more than GDP of more than a hundred countries.
So it's not surprising that Apple is now the most valuable technology company in the world.
Which makes Our share a must buy!!
