What they have announced lately, and every official channel
This media kit is ToolGPA’s own summary of what Apple’s pages, news reports, investors’ announcements and public filings said on the dates shown, with our own grades. It is not made, paid for or approved by Apple, and Apple’s names and logos are trademarks of their owner. Grades are our judgement under the rules at toolgpa.com/grades. ToolGPA uses affiliate links and may earn a commission from them, and it works with sponsors; no one can pay for a grade. Product pictures are Apple’s own, from its website and app-store listings.
