Apple was not starting from scratch, they used NeXT for software and ARM for hardware. Those are both from the 1980s.

- alwillis 6y agoApple was not starting from scratch, they used NeXT for software and ARM for hardware. That got them started but Apple has written a ton of frameworks since 2000 when the first version of MacOS X shipped. The point being made was that Apple didn't attempt to be backwards compatible with classic Mac OS. The Mac didn't try to be backwards compatible with the Apple II that came before it. The iPhone wasn't compatible with any of the phone platforms and standards in 2007.
