Tim Cook and other top Apple employees shared their memories of the old campus and Steve Jobs

Foreign magazine Wired brought a very interesting insight into the history of Apple's former headquarters - the campus on Infinite Loop. The article is conceived as a collection of several short events or commented events from the point of view of former managers and directors of the company. Everything is arranged chronologically, so that the historical sequence is not disturbed. There are many funny and not-so-well-known facts in the short snippets, especially about Steve Jobs.

If you are interested in the history of Apple or the personality of Steve Jobs, I recommend reading the original article. It is quite long, but it contains a really large number of funny incidents and anecdotes that relate (not only) to Jobs' presence at Apple. These are primarily memories connected to the building of the original campus, but there are also several events from the period before that, or from more recent history (Jobs' illness and death, moving to Apple Park, etc.).

For example, Tim Cook, Phil Schiller, Scott Forstall, John Sculley and many others who have held important positions at Apple over the past thirty years contributed to the article. One of the funny incidents is how Macworld and Macweek magazines were brought to the Infinite Loop once a week, in which the employees looked for mentions of what was being prepared and leaked to the public. Or Tim Cook's first day at Apple, when he had to fight his way through a crowd of protesting fans of the PDA Newton, whose production Steve Jobs had officially discontinued a few days earlier.

There is also an incident where Jobs liked to hold various work meetings while walking around the campus. It had the shape of a circle, and for some employees this is the origin of the "closing circles" activity in the Apple Watch, because in some cases the campus was circled several times during the meeting. There are also events from the development of the first iPod, huge security measures during the development of the first iPhone, keynote preparation and much more. If you are a fan of Apple, definitely don't miss this article.
