Wozniak started designing and developing the in 1975; it became the computer that launched Apple when he and Jobs first began marketing it the following year. He primarily designed the in 1977, known as one of the first highly successful mass-produced, while Jobs oversaw the development of its foam-molded plastic case and early Apple employee developed the. He also had major influence until 1981, along with computer scientist, over the initial development of the original, which Jobs then took over following Wozniak's brief departure from the company due to a traumatic airplane accident. After stepping away from Apple in 1985 for good, Wozniak founded and created the first, released in 1987.

He then pursued several other business and philanthropic ventures throughout his career, focusing largely on tech in K–12 schools. Wozniak is currently Chief Scientist at the company Primary Data, and has remained an employee of Apple over the years in a ceremonial capacity. Original 1976 Computer in a briefcase.

From the collection In 1976, Wozniak completed the design. He alone designed the hardware, circuit board designs, and operating system for the computer. Wozniak originally offered the design to HP while working there, but was denied by the company on five different occasions. Jobs instead had the idea to sell the Apple I with Wozniak as a fully assembled. Wozniak, at first skeptical, was later convinced by Jobs that even if they were not successful they could at least say to their grandkids they had had their own company. Together they sold some of their possessions (such as Wozniak's HP and Jobs' ), raised $1,300, and assembled the first boards in Jobs' bedroom and later (when there was no space left) in Jobs' garage.

Wozniak's apartment in San Jose was filled with monitors, electronic devices, and some computer games Wozniak had developed. The Apple I sold for $666.66. (Wozniak later said he had no idea about the relation between the number and the, and 'I came up with it because I like repeating digits.'

) Jobs and Wozniak sold their first 50 system boards to, who was starting a new computer shop, called the Byte Shop, in. On April 1, 1976, Jobs and Wozniak formed (now called Apple Inc.) along with administrative supervisor, whose participation in the new venture was short lived. Wozniak resigned from his job at and became the vice president in charge of research and development at Apple. He and Jobs decided on the name 'Apple' shortly after Jobs returned from an in Oregon. Wozniak's Apple I was similar to the, the first commercially available microcomputer, except the Apple I had no provision for internal expansion cards. With expansion cards the Altair could attach to a computer terminal and be programmed in. In contrast, the Apple I was a hobbyist machine.

Wozniak's design included a $25 on a single circuit board with 256 of, 4K or 8K bytes of, and a 40-character by 24-row display controller. Apple's first computer lacked a case, power supply, keyboard, and display, all components the user had to provide. Wozniak in 1983 In May 1982 and 1983, Wozniak, with help from professional concert promotor, founded and sponsored two to celebrate evolving technologies; they ended up as a technology exposition and a rock festival as a combination of music, computers, television and people.

After losing several million dollars on the 1982 festival, he stated that unless the 1983 event turned a profit, he would end his involvement with rock festivals and get back to designing computers. Later that year, Wozniak returned to Apple product development, desiring no more of a role than that of an engineer and a motivational factor for the Apple workforce. Departure from Apple. Wozniak and at an Apple Computer Users Group meeting in 1985 In the mid-1980s he designed the, a introduced on many later and computer models. However, even with the success he helped create at Apple, Wozniak felt that the company was hindering him from being who he wanted to be, and that it was 'the bane of his existence'. He enjoyed engineering, not management, and said that he missed 'the fun of the early days'.

Although its products provided about 85% of Apple's sales in early 1985, the company's January 1985 annual meeting did not mention the Apple II division or employees, a move that frustrated Wozniak. As other engineers joined the growing company, he no longer felt needed there and by early 1985, Wozniak left Apple again, stating that the company had 'been going in the wrong direction for the last five years'.

He then sold most of his stock. Post Apple career After his career at Apple, Wozniak enrolled at UC Berkeley to complete his degree. Because his name was well known at this point, he enrolled under the name Rocky Raccoon Clark, which is the name listed on his diploma.

In 2014 he became chief scientist at Primary Data, which was founded by some former Fusion-io executives. Despite leaving Apple as a day-to-day employee in 1985, Wozniak chose to never remove himself from the official employee list, and continues to represent the company at events or in interviews. Today he receives a stipend from Apple for this role, estimated to be $120,000 per year. He is also an Apple shareholder.

He maintained a friendly acquaintance with Steve Jobs until Jobs' death in October 2011. However, in 2006, Wozniak stated that he and Jobs were not as close as they used to be. In a 2013 interview, Wozniak said that the original 'failed' under Steve Jobs, and that it was not until Jobs left that it became a success. He called the group the team that had kicked Jobs out, and that Jobs liked to call the Lisa group 'idiots for making the Lisa computer too expensive'.

To compete with the Lisa, Jobs and his new team produced a cheaper computer, one that, according to Wozniak, was 'weak', 'lousy' and 'still at a fairly high price'. 'He made it by cutting the RAM down, by forcing you to swap disks here and there', says Wozniak. He attributed the eventual success of the Macintosh to people like 'who worked to build a Macintosh market when the Apple II went away'. (SVCC) is an annual and convention at the in.

If we build these devices to take care of everything for us, eventually they'll think faster than us and they'll get rid of the slow humans to run companies more efficiently.' Wozniak stated that he had started to feel a contradictory sense of foreboding about artificial intelligence, while still supporting the advance of technology.

In 2016, Wozniak changed his mind again, stating that he no longer worried about the possibility of superintelligence emerging because he is skeptical that computers will be able to compete with human 'intuition': 'A computer could figure out a logical endpoint decision, but that’s not the way intelligence works in humans'.
