Apple Inc. — the App Store · Nasdaq: AAPL
Cupertino, California. Founded Apple 1976. The App Store opened in 2008..
The company
The App Store is a toll booth on the iPhone, not a studio. Apple reviews the apps, takes a commission, and decides who may stay. The shows a family watches are often inside someone else's app, sitting on Apple's shelf.
Who owns it
Public. Tim Cook is chief executive. The largest holders are index funds. There is no controlling family.
Public offices
Apple lobbies on taxes, trade, privacy, and the store itself. Epic sued over the commission. The European Union's Digital Markets Act now forces a second path onto the phone. Both are public cases, and both are about the toll, not about a story.
Who connects to whom
Tap a name. The lines are ownership, a job, a lawsuit, or a marriage that is already in the record. Index funds are holders, not editors.
Money, tax, and the payroll
People
About 160,000 at Apple. The App Store is a department.
Revenue
Apple's company is on the order of $400 billion a year. Services, which include the store, are the high-margin slice. The store's own take is not a clean public line.
Tax
Apple's 10-K. A long argument with Europe about where profit sits. The desk does not retry the case.
How many are watching
Apple does not publish who watches what. It publishes device counts from time to time. This chart is left empty on purpose.
Nothing responsible to chart. A blank is better than a made-up audience.
Who it is built for
iPhone houses
If the family owns the phone, the store is the gate.
Teens
The desk keeps a separate row of the apps teens are installing.
Age
No public age table for time spent in other people's video apps.
Who watches the watcher
European Commission
Digital Markets Act. A second store, and a fight about the fee.
U.S. courts
Epic v. Apple. The commission and the steering rules.
Apple review
The company is its own censor. That is the oversight, and it is private.
The eight, over time
Now is counted from the titles on this desk. Earlier years keep that shape and move the level. They are the house's prior reading, not eight new audits.

What is on the shelf
Apple filings. Epic litigation. EU Digital Markets Act. Employee and revenue figures are the parent's, rounded.
Petition
The desk does not send the letter. Copy it, sign your name, and take it to the person who can act.
