Apple designs and sells consumer technology products that people use every day, including the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, and accessories. It also builds the software and services that tie those devices together, such as iOS, the App Store, iCloud, Apple Music, and Apple TV+. For beginners, Apple is best understood as a company that sells premium hardware and then keeps customers inside its own software and service ecosystem.
Apple’s main customers are consumers, schools, businesses, and developers. It makes money when it sells devices, when customers buy apps and digital content, and when users pay for subscriptions and cloud storage. That means Apple earns both from one-time product sales and from recurring service revenue that can continue after the first device purchase.
What makes Apple’s business model distinctive is the way its products are designed to work tightly together. A customer who buys an iPhone is more likely to use Apple services, buy other Apple devices, and stay with the brand over time. Apple also plays an important role in the technology value chain by setting design standards, controlling the user experience, and acting as a gatekeeper for app distribution on its devices.

We rebuilt our DCF valuation models from the ground up and upgraded how Intrinsic Value is calculated. Alpha Spread now selects the method that best fits each company.
You can now see how the new methodology performed across thousands of stocks on our new Valuation Backtest page. We update the results at the end of every month.
Stock intrinsic value is the real worth of a company's stock, based on its financial health and performance.
Instead of looking at the stock's current market price, which can change due to people's opinions and emotions, intrinsic value helps us understand if a stock is truly a good deal or not.
By focusing on the company's actual financial strength, like its earnings and debts, we can make better decisions about which stocks to buy and when.
