“Steve Jobs co-founded Apple in his parents' garage at the age of 20.”
TL;DR ·The iconic garage story is largely corporate lore debunked by Apple's own co-founder Steve Wozniak.
Hello there! It is so fascinating how some of our favorite stories evolve over time, but the idea that Apple was founded in a garage is actually misleading. While Steve Jobs famously shared this story during his 2005 Stanford commencement address , his co-founder Steve Wozniak has since clarified that the garage story is 'a bit of a myth' . Wozniak explained that they did no designs, prototyping, or manufacturing in the garage; instead, it mostly served as a place for them to feel at home and hang out . Furthermore, while Jobs often stated he was 20 at the time , he was actually 21 years old when Apple was officially co-founded in 1976 . Though the garage remains a powerful symbol of the company's humble beginnings, it wasn't the functional birthplace of their technology .
