Apple has been encouraging us to ‘think different’ for decades as one of the world’s leading computing companies.These days they’re known for sleek, stylish electronics that pack a powerful punch inside a minimalist design. So maybe their origins aren’t a million miles away from their current product range – though this early iPhone iteration was not what you could call legal!
The first product from the two Steves (company founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak) was a ‘Blue Box’. This device was used for making long-distance phone calls at no cost. Though the pair soon moved onto a more sustainable business model (manufacturing the Apple computers we know today), Steve Jobs has been quoted as saying that without those blue boxes “there wouldn’t have been an Apple.”
