From the garage to 2.5 billion devices: Cook sends an internal message celebrating Apple's 50th anniversary, stating "The opportunities ahead are unprecedented."

According to 1M AI News monitoring, on April 1, Apple marked its 50th anniversary, and CEO Tim Cook sent an internal memo to all employees. Cook opens with a quote from Jobs: “Everything around you that you call life was created by people who aren’t any more clever than you. You can change it, influence it, and you can create things that other people can use. Once you understand that, you can never go back.”

In the letter, Cook looks back on Apple’s journey from a prototype built in a garage to the present day, when there are 2.5 billion active devices worldwide. He summarized the cultural core of Apple’s 50 years as “the future isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you build,” and told employees, “the opportunities in front of us are the biggest we’ve ever seen,” and “there is no team that’s better positioned than ours to meet them.”
