David Pogue will chronicle the five decades of Apple’s history in a book about the tech giant coming in 2026, the journalist announced on the social platform X.

Simon & Schuster will publish Pogue’s Apple: The First 50 Years next spring. “Bursting with tales of frenetic all-nighters, engineering genius, and creative rebellion, this book is a true testament to Apple’s unique and innovative vision, and a must read for anyone whose life Apple has touched,” the press says.

Apple, the iconic computer and technology company, will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year. It was founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne in order to sell the Apple I, a computer that Wozniak designed. The company has since grown into one of the largest and most influential technology businesses in the world.

Pogue, a CBS News correspondent, is known for his reporting on technology. His previous books include the nonfiction book How To Prepare for Climate Change and the children’s book Abby Carnelia’s One and Only Magical Power, illustrated by Antonio Caparo.

His new book will draw on interviews with key Apple figures including Wozniak, product designer Jony Ive, and former CEO John Sculley. “The book busts long-held myths; goes backstage for both the titanic successes (450 million iPods, 700 million iPads, 2.2 billion iPhones) and the instructive failures (Lisa, Apple III, MobileMe); and assesses the forces that challenge Apple’s dominance as it enters its second half century,” Simon & Schuster says.

Apple: The First 50 Years is slated for publication on March 17, 2026.
