Apple: The First 50 Years

In time for Apple’s 50th anniversary, “CBS Sunday Morning” correspondent David Pogue tells the iconic company’s entire life story: how it was born, nearly died, was born again under Steve Jobs, and became, under CEO Tim Cook, one of the most valuable companies in the world. The 600-page book features 360 full-color photos, new facts that correct the record and illuminate Apple’s subversive culture, and 150 fresh interviews with the legendary figures who shaped Apple into what it is today.

You know… I’m a fan of history and I’m also a fan of technology, especially Apple products. My favorite, and maybe because it was my first, has always been the “Sunflower” style G4 iMac. It was so beautiful and elegant.

So when I heard that David Pogue was coming out with a book about Apple’s first 50 years, it definitely caught my attention . I did a bit more digging and discovered that it’s going to be a coffee table style book, packed with history and pictures, featuring new interviews with the likes of Woz, and spanning over 600 pages. I figured… “why not?” and pre-ordered it.

It won’t be released until March 2026, which conveniently aligns with Apple’s actual 50th anniversary in April. I have a feeling it will be worth the wait. I’ll have to wait until next year to find out for sure, but I’m optimistic.

If you’re interested, you can check it out at the book’s official site. There, you can pre-order from various places, including Amazon, Target, and bookshop.com, among others.

Although, I have not read it myself, it seems to be pretty comprehensive from the video review below. Odd that it is offered in regular print, large print and Kindle versions but not in audiobook format. Maybe it has a lot of illustrations that don’t translate well to audio? I am guessing that is it.

Finished Listening: Mark Twain by Ron Chernow 📚

It was a 44+ hour audiobook, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was sad to finish it, despite the roller coaster of emotions it brings with it.
