Apple’s 50th anniversary is officially on Wednesday, and the company has been holding several events to commemorate the occasion. This week, however, Apple also gave out special anniversary schwag to its employees, according to several posts on X. Employees got a limited edition T-shirt, pin, and poster “inspired by our heritage rainbow colors and crafted by hand.”
If you’re reading this thinking, “That’s it? That’s all the employees of a trillion-dollar company get?” C’mon, do you really expect them to hand out solid-gold Apple Watches? (I bet you do.) It’s not like Apple has trillions of dollars just lying around.
Well, there is one more thing: Apple is throwing a huge party on Wednesday, with Sir Paul McCartney performing an exclusive show at Apple Park. It’s so exclusive that employees allegedly are not allowed to bring a guest, which is more probably about the capacity of the Apple Park inner courtyard than about the company being cheap. No word on if Apple will be posting the show on Apple Music, but it hasn’t posted any of the other performances by Alicia Keys and Mumford & Sons, so don’t count on it.
We expect Apple’s 50th celebration to wrap up this week, but you never know what Apple has planned for the rest of the month. After all, we’re still waiting for a new Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini.
