Any large institution or successful business is not the product of an individual effort, but rather the result of the collective work of many people. So we decided to talk about personalities who influenced the history of Apple and contributed to the company reaching its present form. We started with Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple.this link- Then from our present, Craig Fedrigi, in charge of iOS and Mac systems -this link-. And in our article today, we go back to the past and talk about the third and unknown founder of Apple; It's Ronald Wayne.
![[3] Geniuses who made Apple: Ronald Wayne](https://iphoneislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Ronald-Wayne-03-590x402.jpeg)
We all know Steve Jobs and some think he is the sole founder and owner of Apple. Some people know Steve Wozniak and that he was Jobs' partner. Rather, he was the person who was actually designing the devices, and Jobs was responsible for selling but did not know how to design them. But the majority of Apple fans are unaware that there is a third person in Apple's founding contract called Ronald Wayne.
Ronald Wayne's role in founding Apple
Ronald Wayne met with Steve Jobs during their work at the famous Atari company in the field of gaming devices and he attended the Jobs and Wozniak meetings to talk about the future of personal computers, where Jobs was telling them that computers would be available to the public (at that time only companies were buying and interested in computers) and he was doing The role of the elder brother or mentor to them (Jobs 21 years old, Wozniak 25 years old, Ronald 42 years old). Then Jobs and his partner decided to establish Apple Computers, but they ran into a legal hurdle, which is that they need the presence of a great "guardian". Here, Jobs went to Ronald and asked him to participate with them, and the company's shares were divided into 45% for Steve Jobs, 45% for Lusniak, and 10% for Ronald Wayne.
As the guardian or supervisor of the company, Ronald Wayne designed the first Apple logo (previous image) and wrote a manual for the use of the first Apple computer, as well as the company's articles of association. After the entity became legal as of April 1, 1, Ronald Wayne felt threatened by the ambitions of Steve Jobs, who soon took a "loan" to guarantee the purchase of 1976 computers. Ronald's concern was that he was the only one in the partners who owned real assets such as a company, a house and other assets. If Wozniak fails to manufacture the 50 computers, and thus the company is unable to pay off the loan that Steve obtained, then what he owns will be seized, unlike the 50 Steve, who had nothing to seize. Based on this concern, on April 2, Ronald Wayne, just 12 days after the company was founded, sold the 11% stake for $ 10. It is reported that Apple's market value is now $ 800: D
Ronald after Apple
Ronald Wayne refused all Steve Jobs' endeavors to bring him back to the company and continued to work for Atari for two years. He left it in 1978 and joined the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, a scientific research facility owned by the US government, and then moved to work for an electronics company. After retiring from work he went to Nevada and began to spend his time selling postage stamps and rare coins. The funny thing is that, according to some close people, he never bought any Apple products, even though in some meetings Apple devices were given to him.
When Ronald asked whether he regretted losing the 10% stake in Apple, he replied, “I made the best decision I saw that was right at the time. There is no point in rethinking the past and thinking what would have happened if I hadn't done such a thing. This matter ended in the past, and thinking about it will not change anything.
Ronald Wayne was born on May 17, 1934 (now 81)
Hope is lost
Thinking about "lo-wish" is my biggest regret
He sold his share for $ XNUMX
I want to understand here
Is this amount a guarantor of the sums of his car, his house ... etc.
Or does the sale of his share guarantee that he will drop his name from the partnership and keep him away from all its financial problems and the consequent mortgage of his home and car?
Because frankly I find selling his shares at this value a very insignificant amount, and it is not possible to buy a car even in XNUMX.
Thank you iPhone Islam
Hahaha, by God, I am with him, by the decision
The man is afraid of his right to his property
😊
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
I will go directly to the heart of the matter
I think he made the right decision at that time, because he is the only one who has something to lose, the only one who provided real guarantees to the bank, except that it seems to me through the article, that this person is not provoked by the world of Apple, as he did not buy any products for Apple, And he attended a conference and gave him one of the devices as a symbolic gift (I think he sold it after that on ebay) and also that he always got good job offers in electronic companies or atari ... etc.
And he also had a right because Apple floundered greatly after that and suffered great losses, but the character of Steve Jobs in the beginning was a little impulsive, and this is the reason for fear I think to stay in the company, and on the other hand I say
A few permanent is better than a lot that is intermittent
Nice article
Yvonne Yvonne Islam dear
We want to present an article about Johnny Eve, the designer of Babel
I hope that you do an article with the same title, but by writing the genius founders of iPhone Islam, I do not exaggerate, because you are the best Arab company that creates the best applications for Arabs, including good for us and others
Gara was very wise and intelligent in his time, but I must feel remorse
I will take the same step for fear of my possessions, the car, the house, etc., etc., because the age difference between me and Steve Wozniak and Jobs is large, and I do not know what steps they will take for me that they have nothing to lose, but I do not
Glory be to God the world livelihood 😊😄
As Muslims, we trust in God and then come to Him, and the risk must be taken !! This is one of the steps for success. Of course, things must be weighed. God bless.
It is advisable for me to sell my part in the company, if that is so
Fear is the first step to failure, and adventure is the first step to success, and he has not ventured to waste billions
The old company logo is so terrifying
Peace be upon you. I downloaded the busuu program, but it translates English into English. How do I translate English into Arabic? Thank you
Busuu has simple conversations that are very useful for beginners and intermediate levels. The first time you open the program, it asks you which language you want to learn and brings you the flags of each language, so you choose English, but there is no translation. These are simple words and phrases in pronunciation, but there are many stages in which you need to buy the program in order to open, but In many other and better second programs
Maybe if he came back, Apple would lose and not become what it is now, and his fears will be fulfilled
I have a problem with the phone after it happened to the last system where the volume became inaudible. Please help
Great story, thank you.
If I were in his place, I would have done an example out of fear for my property, but if I were sure or very hopeful that the company would profit, I would not have withdrawn.
To the iPhone, Islam, what is the meaning of the phrase, for example (the device is 5 hours old)? Please advise us, may God reward you
O his oppression 😂 ……. His time is alive and out of the face
But he had a right because Steve was reckless
But the hours of life I want to take a risk, otherwise a person would prefer his place
If I were in your position, I would perform the Istikhara prayer.
Eh, your words correct because he is a Muslim 😒😒😑
What do you know that there is something called the Istikhara prayer, brother Ahmed, may God guide you with a peace
He tells you if I were in his place 😏
We wish you all the best
Yes XNUMX%
Every risk wins
His decision at the time was very sound
Because he has secured his present because he does not know the unseen what the future holds for the company
Finally, the only thing that destroys our present and our future is thinking and regret over past decisions that are impossible to change
Let us think for our present and plan for our future, and this is only true
Strange as it is, what you wrote about an article about Samsung paying Apple $ XNUMX million
Do not be afraid, of course, they will publish the news on Thursday in the news on the margin, hahahahahahahahaha
It came out from the beginning of the establishment of the company, so his name is not known
His decision was wise and right, not cowardice, but rather a lack of confidence in Steve's decisions, which made him, like them at that time, bankrupt.
Information added to the self-archive
His decision was very wise
And the goodness remains in what God has chosen
Hello my brothers, this is why a person must, if he wants to make a decision and not regret it, have three patience, courage and sophistication.

And yes about it
The opportunity only comes once (do not waste it and choose carefully) 😅
If you knew the unseen, you would choose the reality
Frankly, his decision stemmed from fear, so that he did not take any risks and did not take the opportunity.
I expect then the steves had the same fears, but they ventured and seized the opportunity.
from the last :
XNUMX- Things are with the grace of Allah.
XNUMX- Finding the opportunity, seizing it and taking risks.
