Acclaimed journalist David Pogue is poised to unveil his eagerly awaited book, *Apple: The Initial 50 Years*, on March 10. This 600-page work is set to guide readers through Apple’s extensive legacy, merging fresh perspectives with familiar stories.
Pogue’s thorough research, which took two years and involved 150 discussions with pivotal figures from both Apple’s history and present, is the foundation of the book. Prominent contributors include co-founder Steve Wozniak, former CEO John Sculley, and design icon Jony Ive. The book seeks to dispel enduring myths about the company while showcasing its significant achievements—such as the sale of 450 million iPods, 700 million iPads, and 2.2 billion iPhones—and its notable setbacks, including the Apple Lisa and MobileMe.
The book has already garnered attention, having clinched the number one position in Amazon’s History of Technology category ahead of its launch. Pogue’s work is characterized as “meticulously researched and richly illustrated in color,” ensuring a visually appealing experience for readers.
Alongside the book’s debut, Pogue will initiate a press tour, with 11 planned events across 10 cities, where he will promote the book and delve into its themes. This release aligns with the 50th anniversary of Apple’s establishment on April 1, 1976, a milestone that will also be celebrated by the Computer History Museum and Apple itself, although details regarding Apple’s commemoration are limited.
Readers can preorder *Apple: The Initial 50 Years* on Amazon, where it is anticipated to achieve a high ranking on the overall Best Seller list upon its release. This book is set to provide a conclusive account of Apple’s journey, delivering insights into the dynamics that have influenced the tech giant and the hurdles it encounters as it steps into its upcoming phase.
