In 1997, the year of the first Webby Awards, Apple’s Think Different campaign set an ethos that still guides the company: technology as a canvas for creativity, rooted in the spirit of artists who challenged convention. The iPod defined a generation of music fans in the early 2000s and proved that tech marketing could be cultural. Then the iPhone and the App Store changed the internet’s shape. Before iPhone, the web lived at a desk. After iPhone, it lived everywhere you were, in maps, photos, messaging, payments, podcasts, and countless apps. The Webbys recognized Apple’s craft across the years, from Apple Podcasts and the Apple TV app to AirPods and Vision Pro, along with its distinctive advertising. In 2012, the Webbys also honored the late Steve Jobs with a five-word-speech tribute featuring Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and other cultural leaders, a moment that captured his profound impact on society. For the Webby community of creators, technologists, and innovators, Apple’s influence is impossible to overstate, making its place among the most iconic companies in Webby history both obvious and essential.
