CNN has released a documentary marking Apple's 50th anniversary

CNN has released a special episode of "The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper" dedicated to Apple's 50th anniversary. 

This was reported by the CNN Press Room.

Correspondent Bill Weir presented an in-depth look at the company’s journey from a garage startup to a global tech giant with an audience of over 2.5 billion users. The documentary covers key milestones—from the launch of the first Macintosh to the iPhone era—analyzing the leadership transition from Steve Jobs to Tim Cook with insights from co-founder Steve Wozniak and developer Tony Fadell.

The film pays special attention to the social impact of technology and the problem of screen addiction. Bill Weir demonstrated the results of a unique experiment by spending two weeks without a smartphone: “before” and “after” brain scans following the digital detox revealed significant changes in neural activity. The episode premiered on April 4, 2026, and became available to CNN and Max streaming users at the beginning of the month. The documentary project summarizes half a century of innovations that have changed the way we communicate and document our lives, as the global community continues to adapt to the challenges of the digital age.

As a reminder, Apple removed apps for tracking ICE agents under pressure from Trump.

Apple is pursuing an aggressive strategy to purchase mobile RAM, which could impact the entire smartphone market.
