Apple

Inc.
Apple Inc. is an American multinational technology
company headquartered in Cupertino, California, USA.
Apple designs and manufactures consumer
electronics, software, and online services. The
company is best known for its hardware products like
the iPhone, iPad, Mac computers, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. In terms of market capitalization,
Apple is one of the world's most valuable companies, frequently achieving a market value of over $2
trillion. The company dominates the smartphone market with its iPhone, holding a significant share
globally. Apple's software includes operating systems like iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The
company also runs various online services like iCloud, the App Store, and Apple Music, making it a
significant player in the global tech ecosystem. In fiscal 2020, Apple generated $274.5 billion in
revenue, with a large portion of this coming from iPhone sales.

Founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne in 1976, Apple initially focused on
personal computers, introducing the Apple I and later the Apple II. The company revolutionized
personal computing with its Macintosh line in 1984. However, it was the launch of the iPhone in
2007 that truly transformed Apple into a global tech powerhouse. Under CEO Tim Cook, who
succeeded Steve Jobs in 2011, Apple has expanded its product lineup, venturing into wearables and
services. Cook has steered Apple into becoming more environmentally friendly, with goals to make
its entire supply chain carbon neutral by 2030. Apple has also put a strong emphasis on privacy and
security, making it a central focus of its software and hardware design.

Technology
Apple develops many components in-house, including its A-series and M-series chips, which
power its mobile devices and Mac computers.

1. A-series and M-series chips


2. Retina displays
3. Face ID and Touch ID
4. Siri
5. Privacy and security features

Partners
Apple's most significant partnerships are with manufacturers and suppliers that produce
components for its products.

Foxconn, a major partner in Apple's supply chain, assembles the majority of Apple's products,
particularly the iPhone. The relationship between Apple and Foxconn has been pivotal in meeting
global demand for its devices.
Apple has also formed partnerships with chipmakers like TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing Company), which manufactures Apple's custom silicon chips, including the A-series
chips for iPhones and M-series chips for Macs.

Other current partners

In 2020, Apple announced a major partnership with Hyundai to explore self-driving car technologies.
Though this partnership is in its early stages, it underscores Apple's interest in expanding into the
automotive industry.

Apple also has partnerships with tech companies like Google and Microsoft, particularly in areas like
cloud services and search engines. Apple has integrated Google’s search engine into its Safari
browser and works closely with Microsoft to ensure compatibility between macOS and Office 365.
