Abstract

This research is centered on Apple, Inc., a prominent American-based multinational corporation renowned for its preeminent role in the design, manufacture, and distribution of advanced electronic devices alongside a diverse array of internet services. Established in 1976 by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak (Alex, 2015), Apple has risen to become the world’s largest company, boasting a market capitalization of $3 trillion and a listing on NASDAQ while occupying a significant position within the S&P 500 index (Bob, 2023). Apple’s influence on computing and mobile technology is unparalleled, exemplified by the widespread adoption of its macOS and iOS operating systems in personal computers and mobile devices, contributing to the global popularity of Apple products. Apple is a frontrunner in the computer sector, known for its advanced systems and hardware. MacOS is one of the three major computer operating systems, alongside Microsoft and Linux.
