The 2025 filing mentions outsourcing partners in additional countries (Japan added), discusses reliance on single-source partners in the U.S., Asia, and Europe, and notes concentration of prepayments and vendor non-trade receivables among a few individual vendors primarily in Asia as of September 27, 2025.
The 2025 filing includes more specific risks related to artificial intelligence, such as increased safety risks, potential exposure of users to harmful or inaccurate content, and new legal, regulatory and ethical considerations associated with AI use in products and services.
The 2025 filing reports that on August 5, 2024, Google was found to have violated U.S. antitrust laws. Subsequently, on September 2, 2025, the U.S. District Court ordered certain remedies, subject to appeal by DOJ and Google. The filing details possible adverse impacts on licensing arrangements with Google if remedies prohibit commercial terms, which could materially affect revenue.
The 2025 filing adds that the compliance plan responding to the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) has been challenged by the Commission and may be challenged further by private litigants.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, new tariffs were announced on imports to the U.S. including additional tariffs on imports from China, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam and the European Union. In response, several countries have imposed or threatened to impose reciprocal tariffs on imports from the U.S. and other retaliatory measures. Additionally, a Section 232 investigation by the U.S. Department of Commerce into semiconductors and related products is mentioned. The potential impact is uncertain and could be severe if disputes escalate.
The prior filing included extensive detail on product launches, fiscal periods, macroeconomic conditions, segment operating performance, product and service sales performance, and gross margin data with specific dollar amounts and percentage changes. The current filing omits these details entirely and replaces them with a generic discussion around forward-looking statements only.
Prior filing: Detailed presentation of sales by geography and product line, inventory of specific products launched by quarter, segment operating performance data with dollar values, and gross margin analysis. Current filing: Generic, broad statements about forward-looking statements with no quantitative data or product specifics.
The 2025 filing adds more elaborated detail on the increasing number of claims, legal proceedings, and government investigations, especially related to standards-enabled products and technology, data and intellectual property rights enforcement increased due to AI integration, and international jurisdictions.
The current filing adds a detailed section on forward-looking statements highlighting that such statements are based on assumptions and may differ from actual results. It specifically calls out variables such as macroeconomic conditions and tariffs as examples, uses cautionary language on terms like 'anticipates' and 'expects,' and provides a disclaimer that these statements are not guarantees of future performance.

Watch: Watch for Apple’s AI platform progress and next product cycle for sustained growth and competitive edge.

Renaissance Technologies added 3 million shares, signaling growing institutional interest. Apple began legacy chip production with Intel, leveraging 14A and 18A nodes.
