That\u2019s an immense achievement, and it all started back in 1976 when Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs founded Apple Computer, Inc. While the company released its first product (the Apple I) in 1976, it reached a very limited audience as a hobbyist machine. In contrast, 1977\u2019s Apple II aimed for the mainstream from the start, and its popularity made Apple a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/magazine\/1979\/04\/apple-born-to-grow.html\">wildly successful company<\/a> by the standards at the time.<\/p>\n<p>In that vein, we asked Wozniak if he thought there was anything special about the original Apple II design that laid the foundations for Apple\u2019s current success. (He replied to our questions via email, and his answers have been lightly edited for presentation.)<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-660927 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/apple2_basic_hero.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"An Apple II floating in cyberspace\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" data-credittext=\"Steven Stengel\" data-crediturl=\"http:\/\/oldcomputers.net\/appleii.html\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/oldcomputers.net\/appleii.html\">Steven Stengel<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe Apple II was years ahead of others,\u201d replied Wozniak, referring to other personal computers in development at the time. \u201cIn fact, I had designed and built for myself a small computer 5 years earlier that was like what everyone else was trying\u2014basically a processor with a bus and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Altair_8800\">switches and lights<\/a> [for an] interface.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By 1976, small computers were mostly sold among technical-minded electronics hobbyists who knew how to build and use them, Woz notes. But his Apple II relied on a more user-friendly setup: a typewriter-style QWERTY keyboard as an input device, a CRT monitor or television set as an output device, and came with the BASIC programming language built in. As soon as you turned it on, you could begin using the computer right away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Apple II was such an advance that it was our only successful product\u2014earning lots of money for Apple\u2014for the first 10 years of the company,\u201d says Wozniak, referring to a rough era where the Apple III (1980), Apple Lisa (1983), and the Macintosh (1984) all struggled in the marketplace. \u201cThe Apple II gave business leaders the platform to create other hit products eventually, after many failures.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Influence_of_Video_Games_on_the_Apple_II\"><\/span>The Influence of Video Games on the Apple II<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>During the course of our interview, Woz emphasized the influence that early video <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s played in his Apple II design, and how that influence translated into unique features of the Apple II, such as low-cost color graphics and the inclusion of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.willegal.net\/appleii\/appleii-paddles.htm\">two paddles<\/a> (rotary knob controllers) for playing games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAtari was creating the video arcade industry in Los Gatos, California,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThese were fast-paced graphical games, starting with <em>Pong<\/em> (and a bit before). They were black and white because color was more expensive and harder to create. These arcade games had 100 to 200 chips typically, with thousands of wires to be connected by skilled TV engineers to put game elements on the TV screen. You can see why a game prototype took the better part of a man-year to develop\u2014and only by skilled engineers. I know because I <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamasutra.com\/view\/feature\/1460\/woz_was_here__steve_wozniak_on_.php\">developed<\/a> some video arcade games including <em>Breakout<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-788469 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/apple_logo_1977.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Apple Computer's logo in 1977\" width=\"650\" height=\"310\" data-credittext=\"Apple, Inc.\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple, Inc.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Color in arcade games was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/edfries.wordpress.com\/2016\/05\/25\/fixing-color-gotcha\/\">extremely rare<\/a> in the 1970s, so being able to create a color game on the Apple II, programmed in software instead of logic chips, was a big deal, says Wozniak. \u201cA 9-year old could create a decent game (for the time) in one day using a simple programming language, BASIC, which was built into the Apple II. I had created this version of BASIC with commands to set colors and to plot horizontal and vertical lines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The way that Wozniak designed the Apple II to create color video signals on the cheap is the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/paleotronic.com\/2018\/10\/03\/apple-ii-colour-computer-graphics\/\">stuff of legend<\/a>.

It was an analog world and took precision parts with lots of testing to get color on a TV. The circuits required differential calculus just to design. I like to think outside the known methods and realized in my head that just taking a digital number and feeding it to the TV the right way, would show up as colors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Apple II\u2019s ability to generate a color video signal was a huge achievement and a distinguishing characteristic of the product from the very beginning. It even defined marketing for the company itself. \u201cThink about it, our first logo was in 6 colors,\u201d says Wozniak, referring the to famous Apple logo with six colored s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>es.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_There_Anything_Youd_Do_Differently\"><\/span>Is There Anything You\u2019d Do Differently?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Over the past 45 years, Wozniak has given thousands of interviews about the Apple II, and it can be hard to break new ground with interesting questions. So for fun, we asked Wozniak: If you could go back in time and change one thing about the Apple II design, what would it be?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would change nothing,\u201d he replied. \u201cMy advice to myself would be to rob a bank,\u201d he said jokingly. \u201cThen I\u2019d have had a few other options from the start, like lowercase characters.\u201d (The Apple II platform <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vintagecomputing.com\/index.php\/archives\/2833\/why-the-apple-ii-didnt-support-lowercase-letters\">only supported<\/a> uppercase characters until the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple2history.org\/history\/ah07\/\">Apple IIe<\/a> in 1982 due to Woz\u2019s original cost-saving design.)<\/p>\n<p>Although Wozniak designed the Apple II circuitry and architecture himself, the Apple II as a complete product wasn\u2019t a one-man show. For example, Rod Holt designed the power supply and Jerry Manock designed the Apple II\u2019s plastic case. The role Steve Jobs played in the development of the Apple II comes up often in historical accounts, so we asked, \u201cWould you have done anything differently if Steve Jobs had not been involved with the Apple II?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-661022 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/scratching_surface2.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"An illustration of people using Apple II computers from the &quot;Applesoft BASIC Manual&quot; published in 1978.\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" data-credittext=\"Apple, Inc.\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple, Inc.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cSteve Jobs was not involved, so I\u2019d have done nothing different,\u201d Wozniak said initially, referring to the electronic design of the Apple II. But then Wozniak described Jobs\u2019 essential role in getting Wozniak\u2019s computer into the hands of paying customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSteve Jobs took a computer design into a shippable product,\u201d says Wozniak. \u201cHe was great at business and marketing. I was very shy and had very few friends, and Steve Jobs respected my engineering abilities, so he was my best technical friend. Others suggested I take the Apple II to a product with them or others, but I\u2019m too loyal, and Jobs was the only one I would do it with. He had been turning designs of mine into money and fun for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/512pixels.net\/2018\/03\/woz-blue-box\/\">5 years before<\/a> the Apple II.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_The_Apple_II_Today\"><\/span>Understanding The Apple II Today<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since so much time passed since the launch of the Apple II in 1977, a new generation of Americans has grown up without direct exposure to the Apple II. So we asked Wozniak: Is it important for people to know about the Apple II in 2022?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure how important it is for the masses,\u201d he replied. \u201cA person interested in astronomy would look back at the great steps in that field. Those interested in the inner working of today\u2019s computers would look back too. Also, there is a \u2018retro\u2019 market, as in other fields.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Apple II is understandable,\u201d he adds. \u201cThat\u2019s why early products get a lot of attention.
