Apple turns 50 today. The big 5-0. That company from Cupertino, California is one of the biggest success stories in tech. It's built an empire from selling phones and laptops to people that have moustaches tattooed on their fingers and unironically wore suspenders in 2010. A mighty accomplishment.
Alright, I will lay off the sarcasm for Apple's big day, even if it is also April Fool's—arguably the worst day on the calendar. Even a PC gamer such as myself can admit what Apple has achieved in recent years is impressive. It's no longer selling Intel-powered laptops with fewer options at higher prices. It's selling homegrown, powerful Arm silicon with an OS and software stack that feels more in sync than Microsoft or anyone else could dream of.
