Apple, a leading global technology company, was founded in the US by Steve Jobs in 1976, known for its innovative designs, software applications, and strong consumer relationships. The company's success stems from its high-quality materials, innovative designs, and philanthropic efforts, with a commitment to quality, innovation, and social responsibility. Despite its global presence, Apple faces challenges complying with European regulations, impacting the availability of new features like Apple Intelligence and iPhone Mirroring in the EU due to uncertainties over the Digital Markets Act. Apple is the first US tech giant charged under the EU's Digital Markets Act for alleged App Store competition violations, potentially facing significant fines and regulatory hurdles both in Europe and globally.
