Apple Inc. is a computer technology and consumer goods mega-corporation based in the United States. Founded in 1976, Apple is one of the entities which constitutes the "big tech" corporate oligopoly. As of 2023, Apple products consume a considerable market share in Western countries.[1]
Apple is infamous for its consistent labor abuses, privacy violations, and generally anti-consumer practices. Apple, similar to other transnational mega-corporations, perpetrates imperialism via exporting their industries to less developed markets. Apple products are often manufactured in inhumane and oppressive conditions with meager wages.[2] Apple also regularly collaborates in mass-surveillance efforts with imperialist governments,[3][4] which is aided by the mega-corporation's proprietary operating systems and software.[5]
