Apple celebrates 50th birthday with homepage animation

Today, April 1, 2026 (no joke), is Apple’s 50th birthday.

The company was launched by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne on this day in 1976, originally to market Wozniak’s visionary Apple I personal computer.

Since then, it has become one of the largest, most successful companies ever, with Apple products an important part of the lives of billions of people around the world.

To mark the occasion, the company did a little takeover of its own website, which now features a colorful animation highlighting some of Apple’s most important products, from early Macs to the new Vision Pro.

“At 50 years, it’s natural to look back. But Apple has always looked forward, creating devices and delivering experiences that enrich people’s lives. As we celebrate how far we’ve come, we’re inspired by where we’ll go — together,” the text accompanying the animation says.

Of course, this isn’t all Apple is doing to celebrate. The company recently announced that the festival will be held over several weeks. So far, Apple has delivered on that promise with a series of surprise concerts, including Alicia Keys’ performance at Apple Grand Central in New York City.
