Yes decent movie if compared with others. Just historically flawed as completely cut out from the story all the Commodore, Radio Shack TRS-80, Atari, Spectrum etc., not even mentioned once, to keep the plot easier to follow for the larger uninformed audience.

But look at the market share in 1970's and 80's:

The first was the MITS Altair 8080 in in 1975 - no any Apple. Later? In 1983, Commodore had 40% of the PC market: 2 million units sold , and 2.5 million in each for next 3 years. Apple][ in 1984 sold a million and was best year.
Must give credits to ipod for let people think Apple invented the Sony Walkman in place of Apple, and to iphone for let people think Apple invented the Motorola cell phone instead of Motorola. As well as before to Mac for let people think Apple invented the mouse, this specific story however is in the movie and it shows really Xerox Parc invented it (but its managers think it is not useful), Jobs seen it there. Last masterpiece it was Apple finally got its patent on a rectangle with rounded corners. Really Apple invented the rounded corners, guys.
