Apple started from garage in 1976, now a trillion-dollar giant
Started in the garage of late co-founder Steve Jobs in 1976, Apple became the first US company to hit a $1-trillion valuation on Thursday. Jobs sold his Volkswagen minibus while co-founder Steve Wozniak sold his HP-65 calculator to collect funds for the first Apple computer. Apple share prices have gone 11-fold since Jobs unveiled the first iPhone in 2007.
