📱 People Will Still Be Using iPhones in 50 Years, According to Apple

Today is Apple's 50th anniversary: on April 1, 1976, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne founded Apple Computer Company in the garage of Jobs' parents' home in Los Altos, California.

The company's first product—the single-board computer Apple I—was built by Steve Wozniak, while Jobs recognized its commercial potential. To raise the startup capital, Wozniak sold his HP-65 programmable calculator (the most valuable item he owned), and Jobs sold his Volkswagen minivan. Together, they raised about $1,300.

💡 Thirty years later, by the end of 2006, Apple had become one of the largest companies in the U.S. with revenue of $19.3 billion. In early 2007, Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone—and to this day, smartphones remain the corporation’s flagship product.

As of 2025, the company has sold about 3 billion iPhones. And at Apple, they firmly believe people will still be buying iPhones 50 years from now.

"The iPhone is not going to go away. iPhone is going to serve a very central role in the tech industry," insists Apple's senior vice president of marketing, Greg Joswiak.

Will anyone still be using an iPhone 50 years from now?

❤️ — Of course, it's the technology of the century!
