The History of Apple: From Garage to Global Icon

Everyone knows Apple these days. The brand stands for innovative technology, sleek design, and top quality. For mobile repair shops, Apple is absolutely indispensable: iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks come in every day for a new screen, battery, or other replacement part. But how did Apple actually get started? And what are the key moments in its history?

How It All Began (1976)

In 1976, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne started Apple in a garage in California. Their first product, the Apple I, was a simple computer that Wozniak mostly built by hand. It might not have looked impressive, but it was the beginning of something very big.

The First Major Breakthrough (1984)

In 1984, Apple released the Macintosh. It was a computer with a mouse and icons on the screen; something completely new at the time. Until then, you mostly had to type complicated code. With the Macintosh, Apple showed that computers could also be easy to use and user-friendly.

Tough Times and Apple’s Comeback

After the successes of the 1980s, things started to go downhill in the 1990s. Microsoft and other brands were becoming increasingly popular, and Apple struggled to keep up with the competition. In 1985, Steve Jobs even left the company after a conflict with the board. Without his vision, Apple released products that didn’t succeed, and the company slowly lost ground.

In 1997, Jobs was brought back, and that turned out to be the turning point. He brought new energy, introduced sleek designs, and put ease of use back at the center. From that moment on, Apple’s real rise began.

The iPod and the iPhone: A Revolution

With the iPod (2001) and the iPhone (2007) Apple changed the world. The iPhone combined a phone, a music player, and the internet into one device. Everyone wanted one, and iPhones are still extremely popular today.

For mobile repair technicians, the popularity of Apple devices brings a lot of work. Broken screens, aging batteries, non-working buttons, and other issues are common. Fortunately, repairers can rely on our extensive range of Apple parts to solve all these problems quickly and efficiently.

Apple Today

Today, Apple is one of the biggest companies in the world. Every year, new iPhones are released, and millions of people around the globe use their products. For you as a repair technician, this means plenty of opportunities, but also the need to stay up-to-date with the latest technologies.

Conclusion

Apple has had an impressive journey: from a small start in a garage in 1976 to becoming one of the largest technology companies in the world. Their innovative products, like the iPod and iPhone, have not only changed the market but also create a constant demand for repairs. For mobile repair technicians, this means plenty of work and opportunities, provided you keep high-quality parts in stock and stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and models. Apple never stands still, and neither should your repair shop.

Zahvaljujući fleksibilnom COP dizajnu, zaslon je tanak, lagan i manje sklon lomljenju, a istovremeno pruža svijetle i živopisne vizualne prikaze blizu OEM razine kvalitete. Odziv na dodir je brz i precizan, a svaka serija pažljivo se testira na boju, stabilnost i performanse. To omogućuje profesionalnim tehničarima za popravke da se oslone na dosljednu kvalitetu, visoku kompatibilnost i pouzdan zaslon koji izgleda vrhunsko bez premium cijene.

FDX ELITE

FDX Elite je naš premium proizvod, gdje blisko surađujemo s proizvođačem kako bismo optimizirali kvalitetu. Poboljšanja provodimo na temelju povratnih informacija kupaca i našeg vlastitog iskustva. Zbog našeg izravnog utjecaja na proizvodni proces, imamo potpuno povjerenje u kvalitetu. Stoga nudimo široko jamstvo na ove zaslone: čak je uključena i šteta unutar zaslona (koja obično nije pokrivena). Međutim, ako je šteta vidljiva golim okom, bilo unutra ili izvana, jamstvo postaje ništavno. Naš FDX Elite zaslon ima FHD+ rezoluciju i bit će najskuplja opcija zbog dodatne vrijednosti i širokog jamstva. S ovom kvalitetom i uslugom, cilj nam je pružiti iskustvo bez briga za naše kupce.

FDX Prime predstavlja standard in-cell kvalitete, kupljen izravno od proizvođača, baš kao i drugi dobavljači na tržištu. Izbor proizvođača ovisi o kvaliteti proizvodnog serijala, a proizvodi zadovoljavaju najviše in-cell standarde kvalitete na tržištu. FDX Prime zasloni imaju FHD rezoluciju i dolaze s redovitim tvorničkim jamstvom. To znači da šteta na unutrašnjosti zaslona nije pokrivena.
