Apple operates the iPhone, iPad, and Mac product lines.
The iPhone launched in 2007 and became Apple’s most important product category by revenue and global influence. The iPad followed in 2010, while the Macintosh line dates back to 1984. Apple designs much of its hardware, operating-system software, and custom silicon, while relying on manufacturing partners for large-scale production.
Apple’s other businesses include services such as the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, and Apple TV+, plus wearables including the Apple Watch and AirPods. This combination gives the company revenue beyond device sales.
Apple is often confused with Foxconn, which assembles many Apple products. Foxconn is a manufacturing partner, not the owner of the iPhone brand. Apple’s headquarters are in Cupertino, California.
