BIRTH OF THE BIG APPLE
The co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, stands in a room
full of the original Macintosh computers. The machine
was released on 24 January 1984, and represented
a revolution within the tech industry with its nine-
inch screen, 128k of memory and $2,500 price
tag. Ridley Scott directed the epic Super Bowl
commercial, inspired by George Orwell’s
dystopian novel. 2017 marks ten years
since Jobs debuted the iPhone.
