This book uncovers myths, offers behind-the-scenes insights into massive hits-like 450 million iPods, 700 million iPads, and 2.2 billion iPhones-and explores instructive flops such as Lisa, Apple III, and MobileMe. It also examines the challenges Apple faces as it moves into its next half-century.

Filled with stories of intense all-nighters, brilliant engineering, and rebellious creativity, this is an essential read for anyone touched by Apple’s innovative spirit.
