What was the name of the first Apple computer?

Answer

The Apple I was an early personal computer. It was designed by Steve Wozniak for personal use. Wozniak's friend Steve Jobs had the idea of selling the computer. The Apple I was Apple Computer's first product, demonstrated in April 1976 at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California.

The Apple II (sometimes written as Apple ][ or Apple //) was the first popular microcomputer manufactured by Apple Computer. Its direct ancestor was the Apple I, a limited production circuit board computer for electronics hobbyists which pioneered many features that made the Apple II a commercial success. Introduced at the West Coast Computer Faire in 1977, the Apple II was one of the very first and most successful personal computers. A number of different models were sold, and the most popular model was manufactured with relatively minor changes into the 1990s. By the end of its production in 1993, two million Apple II series computers had been produced.

Throughout the 1980s and much of the 1990s, the Apple II was the de facto standard computer in American education; some of them are still operational in classrooms today. The Apple II was popular with business users as well as with families and schools, particularly after the release of the first-ever computer spreadsheet, VisiCalc, which initially ran only on the Apple II.

Apple's Macintosh product line finally eclipsed the Apple II series in the early 1990s. Even after the introduction of the Macintosh, the Apple II had remained Apple's primary source of revenue for years: the Apple II and its associated community of third-party developers and retailers were once a billion-dollar-a-year industry. The IIGS model was sold through to the end of 1992. The IIe model was removed from the product line on October 15, 1993, ending an era.
