Komabe, sanamalize maphunziro ake ndipo adaganiza zodzipereka kuchita komanso ntchito yake. Poyamba ankagwira ntchito ku kampani ya Hawlett-Packard ndipo panthawi imodzimodziyo anapanga makompyuta a Apple I ndi Apple II. Kenako anamaliza maphunziro ake apamwamba pa yunivesite ya California ku Berkley.
Zithunzi
Wozniak anagwira ntchito ku Hawlett-Packard kuchokera ku 1973 mpaka 1976.

Kupambana kwake kwakukulu mosakayikira kunali makompyuta a Apple II omwe adatchulidwa, omwe adasinthiratu makampani apakompyuta padziko lonse lapansi. Apple II inali ndi purosesa ya MOS Technology 6502 yokhala ndi mawotchi pafupipafupi a 1 MHz, ndi kukumbukira kwa RAM kwa 4 KB. Apple II yoyambirira idasinthidwa pambuyo pake, mwachitsanzo 48 KB ya RAM inalipo, kapena floppy drive. Kusintha kwakukulu kunabwera pambuyo pake, ndikuwonjezera mayina. Makamaka, pambuyo pake zidatheka kugula makompyuta a Apple II okhala ndi Plus, IIe, IIc ndi IIGS kapena IIc Plus zowonjezera. Chotsatiracho chinali ndi 3,5 ″ diskette drive (m'malo mwa 5,25") ndipo purosesa idasinthidwa ndi mtundu wa WDC 65C02 wokhala ndi ma frequency a 4MHz. Kugulitsa makompyuta a Apple II kunayamba kuchepa mu 1986, chitsanzo cha IIGS chinathandizidwa mpaka 1993. Zina za Apple II zinagwiritsidwa ntchito mwakhama mpaka 2000, pakali pano makinawa ndi osowa kwambiri ndipo amapeza ndalama zambiri pa malonda.
