lot of things you might have missed on mostly because the company isn't proud of or simply didn't get that much coverage compared to the shiny products they sell now let's take a look at 15 things you might not know about [Music] Apple number one apple actually had three founders we all know that Steve Jobs and Steve wnc put together the first Apple computer in the garage of W's parents' home in Cupertino California but few know there was a third guy working along with them Ronald Wayne a friend of jobs from when they both worked at Atari and he agreed to help start apple with him not only did he help develop the computer he wrote its manual and even came up with Apple's first logo when he realized Apple might not make it he sold his shares to Steves for $800 a real bad move that share would be worth something like 40 bill ion dollar now Wayne now sells stamps and coins in a Nevada trailer park number two apple was started with a calculator to start the company jobs sold his VW micrus and was sold his calculator that might sound pretty one-sided now but the fact is that the scientific calculator was worth more than the van back then was managed to sell it for $500 that's around $2,000 in today's money number three Steve Jobs is the son of a Syrian immigrant few people know that Steve Jobs was adopted even fewer know that his father was Abdul fat jandi a Syrian immigrant that got Joanne Shel pregnant in College due to parental issues the baby was put up for adoption and although the mother insisted the baby be adopted by educated people young Steve was adopted by Paul jobs a high school dropout and Clara jobs who hadn't finished college John Dolly who manages a Nevada Casino never met his son but the two did exchange brief emails just before Jobs died number four in 1986 Apple started a clothing line you might have never heard of it because the project failed completely they called it the apple collection and the idea is far from the modern Sleek minimalist and Timeless design that makes Apple products the sensation they are today it's hard to picture turtleneck Steve wearing a tracksuit in rainbow colored Apple logo number five Apple owns the patent for the slide to unlock feature apple is currently suing Samsung claiming patent infringement over this a judge has already overturned Apple's patent claims to slide to unlock in Germany number six Apple's iPad's retina display is actually manufactured by Samsung apple found found out that Outsourcing their Retina Display to Samsung is actually cheaper than creating the infrastructure to build it themselves also it's an incredibly lucrative contract that gives Apple slight leverage with Samsung number seven Steve Jobs invented the computer mouse by stealing it from Xerox back in the early computer years in order to click on something you had to insert rows of code that would tell the cursor where on a grid it should go and what action you wanted it to perform form while visiting xerox's Research Center he noticed a three button mouse that would have been perfect for his Apple interface the only problem is that it costed $300 so he had the team drop one of the buttons and the cost down to $15 number eight Jonathan IV has worn the same t-shirt in every Apple product intro video since 2000 same as Steve Apple's lead designer wears the same type of clothing in all official releases they come in lovely dad shades of Earth Tones and they are made by a company called gar number nine the Mac battery is bulletproof in case of horrific events the battery inside your MacBook could potentially save your life as it was made to be bulletproof number 10 Bill Gates stole Windows from Apple in a similar fashion how Mark Zuckerberg stole the Facebook idea from the winkl VOS twins Steve Jobs tasked Bill Gates with creating an operating system for Apple after developing the product Bill saw its Standalone potential and decided to never deliver it and started selling Windows on his own number 11 Steve Jobs forced Microsoft to save Apple Inc in 1997 Apple was running out of cash their legal battles with Microsoft were going on for so long and costing them a ton of money so Steve offered bill Ates the possibility of a settlement of $150 million for non-voting shares at Apple Microsoft promised to support Microsoft Office for the Mac for 5 years while Apple agreed to make Internet Explorer the default web browser on the Mac but not the only one number 12 the most expensive iPhone in the world costs $15 million at alux.com we've covered

around $50 billion in cash while looking at Apple's balance balance sheets show it has over $200 billion cash on hand to put it into perspective apple is currently worth more than the entire Russian stock market put together number 14 if Apple were to go on a shopping spree it could buy almost 80% of the top 500 companies in America to make things interesting Apple could buy both Netflix and Tesla with the earnings from only one yearly quarter Netflix has a cap of 23 billion and Tesla is worth around 28 billion if they wanted to they could pick up Amazon for 90 billion and still have enough cash to buy Coca-Cola or Disney number 15 in the last years of his life Steve Jobs declared war on Google Steve said and I quote I will spend my last dying breath to write this wrong I'm going to destroy Android because it's a stolen product I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this they are scared to death because they know they are guilty in a last attempt to crumble Google's advertising Empire apple may allow or have ad blockers pre-installed on all their devices so you get a better experience while browsing the internet this will be Steve's final blow towards Google if it were to ever be put in place because you stuck with us till the end we've got some extra info for you Apple announced that it will come out with an electric car in the next 5 years both Steve and Tim Cook talked with Elon about Apple acquiring Tesla but musk didn't want to sell what do you think about Apple's decision to build its own electric car should they or should they simply buy GM or
