We're celebrating Apple's 50th birthday with a week of content about the tech giant. It covers everything from personal recollections from our writers to the greatest — and worst — Apple gadgets as voted by you, and you can read it all on our 50 years of Apple page.

Over the years I've owned iMacs and iPhones, iPods and iPads, MacBooks, and now a Mac mini — but even so, I wouldn't describe myself as an Apple fanboy. No, I'm just a lover of great technology, and when Apple gets it right, it gets it very right.

After all, Apple has done a lot in those 50 years, some of it great, some good, some best forgotten — but all a part of tech history.

So, do you consider yourself an Apple aficionado? Well, it's time to prove it by taking my Big Apple 50th anniversary quiz. Have a go, check out your score, then tell us how you did in the comments.
