This Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private 
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. Many of the forward-looking statements are 
located in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-K under the heading “Business” and Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-K under the heading 
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements 
provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly 
relate to any historical or current fact. For example, statements in this Form 10-K regarding the potential future impact of the 
COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business and results of operations are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking 
statements can also be identified by words such as “future,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” 
“plans,” “predicts,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of 
future performance and the Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking 
statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A of this 
Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors.” The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking 
statements for any reason, except as required by law.
Unless otherwise stated, all information presented herein is based on the Company’s fiscal calendar, and references to 
particular years, quarters, months or periods refer to the Company’s fiscal years ended in September and the associated 
quarters, months and periods of those fiscal years. Each of the terms the “Company” and “Apple” as used herein refers 
collectively to Apple Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated.
