Questions people ask about Apple

What is going on between Apple and OpenAI?

Apple filed a trade secret lawsuit against OpenAI on July 10, 2026 in the Northern District of California, accusing former Apple employees of taking unreleased hardware specs and supply chain data. The dispute has spilled into public exchanges, with Elon Musk calling Sam Altman a scammer over the suit. The case is ongoing.

What is Retro Sounds on Apple Music?

Retro Sounds is a Jordan Brand series on Apple Music 1 that pairs Air Jordan retro releases with the music of the year those shoes first dropped. The first episode, hosted by Chase B and Manny Peralte Jr, debuted July 15, 2026 and was built around 1988, ahead of an Air Jordan retro retail release on July 18, 2026.

Where can you buy Apple products?

New Apple products sell through apple.com, Apple's own stores and authorized retailers, plus carriers for iPhones. Apple also runs an official refurbished store with warranty coverage, which is the reliable way to pay less for a like new device. Trade in credit on an old device is the other common discount.

Why are Apple products so expensive?

Apple prices reflect its integrated hardware and software, long software support windows and premium build, and the company rarely discounts its newest devices. The practical offsets are trade in value, since Apple devices hold resale value better than most electronics, and the official refurbished store. Older models also stay on sale at lower prices when new ones launch.

Who runs Apple?

Tim Cook has been Apple's chief executive since 2011, when he succeeded cofounder Steve Jobs. Apple is a publicly traded company headquartered in Cupertino, California, and no single person owns it.
