Co-founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniack, Apple is a leading tech giant known for a wide range of products which command a global fan following. All the devices run on the brand's operating system iOS. Popular Apple products include iPhones, iPad tablets, Macbook laptops, iMac systems etc.

Apple's pocket music player iPod gained mass popularity since its inception in 2001. In May this year, the company announced it is discontinuing the product. “Today, the spirit of iPod lives on. We’ve integrated an incredible music experience across all of our products, from the iPhone to the Apple Watch to HomePod mini, and across Mac, iPad, and Apple TV. And Apple Music delivers industry-leading sound quality with support for spatial audio — there’s no better way to enjoy, discover, and experience music," the company statement quoted a senior official.
