Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Apple Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively “Apple” or the “Company”) designs, manufactures and markets mobile communication and media devices, personal computers and portable digital music players, and sells a variety of related software, services, accessories, networking solutions and third-party digital content and applications. The Company sells its products worldwide through its retail stores, online stores and direct sales force, as well as through third-party cellular network carriers, wholesalers, retailers and value-added resellers. In addition, the Company sells a variety of third-party Apple compatible products, including application software and various accessories through its online and retail stores. The Company sells to consumers, small and mid-sized businesses and education, enterprise and government customers. Basis of Presentation and Preparation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2014, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as updated by the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 28, 2015 (hereinafter, the “2014 Form 10-K”). The Company’s fiscal year is the 52 or 53-week period that ends on the last Saturday of September. An additional week is included in the first fiscal quarter approximately every six years to realign fiscal quarters with calendar quarters. The Company’s fiscal years 2015 and 2014 each include 52 weeks. Unless otherwise stated, references to particular years, quarters or months refer to the Company’s fiscal years ended in September and the associated quarters or months of those fiscal years. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, shares to be purchased under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities. The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014 (net income in millions and shares in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended June 27, 2015 June 28, 2014 June 27, 2015 June 28, 2014 Numerator: Net income $ 10,677 $ 7,748 $ 42,270 $ 31,043 Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding 5,729,886 6,012,635 5,788,922 6,136,147 Effect of dilutive securities 43,213 39,076 40,998 36,710 Weighted-average diluted shares 5,773,099 6,051,711 5,829,920 6,172,857 Basic earnings per share $ 1.86 $ 1.29 $ 7.30 $ 5.06 Diluted earnings per share $ 1.85 $ 1.28 $ 7.25 $ 5.03 Potentially dilutive securities whose effect would have been antidilutive were not significant for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014. The Company excluded these securities from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

The Company may sell certain of its marketable securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipation of credit deterioration and duration management. The net realized gains or losses recognized by the Company related to such sales were not significant during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014. The maturities of the Company’s long-term marketable securities generally range from one to five years. As of June 27, 2015 and September 27, 2014, gross unrealized losses related to individual securities that had been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or longer were not significant. During the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, the Company did not recognize any significant impairment charges. As of June 27, 2015, the Company considers the declines in market value of its marketable securities investment portfolio to be temporary in nature and does not consider any of its investments other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company typically invests in highly-rated securities, and its investment policy generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The policy generally requires investments to be investment grade, with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. Fair values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio. When evaluating an investment for other-than-temporary impairment the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below its cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, changes in market interest rates and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company may use derivatives to partially offset its business exposure to foreign currency and interest rate risk on expected future cash flows, on net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries and on certain existing assets and liabilities. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange or interest rates. To help protect gross margins from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar may hedge a portion of forecasted foreign currency revenue, and subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar and who sell in local currencies may hedge a portion of forecasted inventory purchases not denominated in the subsidiaries’ functional currencies. The Company may enter into forward contracts, option contracts or other instruments to manage this risk and may designate these instruments as cash flow hedges. The Company typically hedges portions of its forecasted foreign currency exposure associated with revenue and inventory purchases, typically for up to 12 months. To help protect the net investment in a foreign operation from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company may enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to offset the changes in the carrying amounts of these investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, the Company may use non-derivative financial instruments, such as its foreign-currency-denominated debt, as economic hedges of its net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries. In both of these cases, the Company designates these instruments as net investment hedges. The Company may also enter into non-designated foreign currency contracts to partially offset the foreign currency exchange gains and losses generated by the re-measurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company may enter into interest rate swaps, options, or other instruments to manage interest rate risk. These instruments may offset a portion of changes in income or expense, or changes in fair value of the Company’s long-term debt or investments. The Company designates these instruments as either cash flow or fair value hedges. The Company’s hedged interest rate transactions as of June 27, 2015 are expected to be recognized within 12 years. Cash Flow Hedges The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of foreign currency revenue are recognized as a component of net sales in the same period as the related revenue is recognized, and deferred gains and losses related to cash flow hedges of inventory purchases are recognized as a component of cost of sales in the same period as the related costs are recognized. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of interest income or expense are recognized in other income/(expense), net in the same period as the related income or expense is recognized. The ineffective portions and amounts excluded from the effectiveness testing of cash flow hedges are recognized in other income/(expense), net. These amounts were not significant during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Deferred gains and losses in AOCI associated with such derivative instruments are reclassified immediately into other income/(expense), net. Any subsequent changes in fair value of such derivative instruments are reflected in other income/(expense), net unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions. The Company did not recognize any significant net gains or losses related to the loss of hedge designation on discontinued cash flow hedges during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014. Net Investment Hedges The effective portions of net investment hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as a part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The ineffective portions and amounts excluded from the effectiveness testing of net investment hedges are recognized in other income/(expense), net and were not significant during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014. Fair Value Hedges Gains and losses related to changes in fair value hedges are recognized in earnings along with a corresponding loss or gain related to the change in value of the underlying hedged item. The ineffective portions and amounts excluded from the effectiveness testing of fair value hedges recognized were not significant during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014. Non-Designated Derivatives Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in the financial statement line item to which the derivative relates. The net gains and losses recognized for foreign currency forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments were not significant during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014. The Company records all derivatives in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The Company’s accounting treatment for these derivative instruments is based on its hedge designation. The following tables show the Company’s derivative instruments at gross fair value as of June 27, 2015 and September 27, 2014 (in millions): June 27, 2015 Fair Value of Derivatives Designated as Hedge Instruments Fair Value of Derivatives Not Designated as Hedge Instruments Total Fair Value Derivative assets (1) Foreign exchange contracts $ 1,747 $ 29 $ 1,776 Interest rate contracts $ 160 $ 0 $ 160 Derivative liabilities (2) Foreign exchange contracts $ 120 $ 58 $ 178 Interest rate contracts $ 533 $ 0 $ 533 September 27, 2014 Fair Value of Derivatives Designated as Hedge Instruments Fair Value of Derivatives Not Designated as Hedge Instruments Total Fair Value Derivative assets (1) Foreign exchange contracts $ 1,332 $ 222 $ 1,554 Interest rate contracts $ 81 $ 0 $ 81 Derivative liabilities (2) Foreign exchange contracts $ 41 $ 40 $ 81 (1) The fair value of derivative assets is measured using Level 2 fair value inputs and is recorded as other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The credit risk amounts represent the Company’s gross exposure to potential accounting loss on derivative instruments that are outstanding or unsettled if all counterparties failed to perform according to the terms of the contract, based on then-current The Company generally enters into master netting arrangements, which are designed to reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. To further limit credit risk, the Company generally enters into collateral security arrangements that provide for collateral to be received or posted when the net fair value of certain financial instruments fluctuates from contractually established thresholds. The Company presents its derivative assets and derivative liabilities at their gross fair values in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 27, 2015 and September 27, 2014, the Company received $2.1 billion of cash collateral related to the derivative instruments under its collateral security arrangements, which were recorded as other current liabilities within accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under master netting arrangements with the respective counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts, the Company is allowed to net settle transactions with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. As of June 27, 2015 and September 27, 2014, the potential effects of these rights of set-off associated with the Company’s derivative contracts, including the effects of collateral, would be a reduction to both derivative assets and derivative liabilities of $2.2 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, resulting in net derivative liabilities of $868 million and $549 million, respectively. Accounts Receivable Trade Receivables The Company has considerable trade receivables outstanding with its third-party cellular network carriers, wholesalers, retailers, value-added resellers, small and mid-sized businesses and education, enterprise and government customers that are not covered by collateral, third-party financing arrangements or credit insurance. As of June 27, 2015, the Company had one customer that represented 10% or more of total trade receivables, which accounted for 12%. As of September 27, 2014, the Company had two customers that represented 10% or more of total trade receivables, one of which accounted for 16% and the other 13%. The Company’s cellular network carriers accounted for 57% and 72% of trade receivables as of June 27, 2015 and September 27, 2014, respectively. Vendor Non-Trade Receivables Additionally, the Company has non-trade receivables from certain of its manufacturing vendors resulting from the sale of components to these vendors who manufacture sub-assemblies or assemble final products for the Company. Vendor non-trade receivables from three of the Company’s vendors accounted for 47%, 21% and 14% of total vendor non-trade receivables as of June 27, 2015 and three of the Company’s vendors accounted for 51%, 16% and 14% of total vendor non-trade receivables as of September 27, 2014.

Income Taxes	Note 5 – Income Taxes As of June 27, 2015, the Company recorded gross unrecognized tax benefits of $5.4 billion, of which $2.0 billion, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. As of September 27, 2014, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $4.0 billion, of which $1.4 billion, if recognized, would have affected the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits are classified as other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had $928 million and $630 million of gross interest and penalties accrued as of June 27, 2015 and September 27, 2014, respectively, which are classified as other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management believes that an adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company’s tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs. Although timing of the resolution and/or closure of audits is not certain, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next 12 months. On June 11, 2014, the European Commission issued an opening decision initiating a formal investigation against Ireland for alleged state aid to the Company. The opening decision concerns the allocation of profits for taxation purposes of the Irish branches of two subsidiaries of the Company. The Company believes the European Commission’s assertions are without merit. If the European Commission were to conclude against Ireland, the European Commission could require Ireland to recover from the Company past taxes covering a period of up to 10 years reflective of the disallowed state aid. While such amount could be material, as of June 27, 2015 the Company is unable to estimate the impact.

Debt	Jun. 27, 2015
Debt	Note 6 – Debt Commercial Paper In 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to issue unsecured short-term promissory notes (“Commercial Paper”) pursuant to a commercial paper program. The Company intends to use net proceeds from the commercial paper program for general corporate purposes, including dividends and share repurchases. As of June 27, 2015 and September 27, 2014, the Company had $4.5 billion and $6.3 billion of Commercial Paper outstanding, respectively, with a weighted-average interest rate of 0.10% and 0.12%, respectively, and maturities generally less than nine months. The following table provides a summary of cash flows associated with the issuance and maturities of Commercial Paper for the nine months ended June 27, 2015 (in millions): Maturities less than 90 days: Proceeds from (repayments of) commercial paper, net $ 579 Maturities greater than 90 days: Proceeds from commercial paper 2,601 Repayments of commercial paper (4,988 ) Maturities greater than 90 days, net (2,387 ) Total change in commercial paper, net $ (1,808 ) Long-Term Debt As of June 27, 2015, the Company has outstanding floating- and fixed-rate notes with varying maturities for an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 billion (collectively the “Notes”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations, and interest is payable in arrears, quarterly for the U.S. dollar-denominated floating-rate notes, semi-annually for the U.S. dollar- and yen-denominated fixed-rate notes and annually for the euro- and Swiss franc-denominated fixed-rate notes.

To manage interest rate risk on the U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate notes issued in the second quarter of 2015 and maturing in 2020 and 2022, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $2.5 billion. To manage interest rate risk on the U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate notes issued in the third quarter of 2015 and maturing in 2017, 2020, 2022 and 2025, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $4.3 billion. These interest rate swaps effectively converted the fixed interest rates on the U.S. dollar-denominated notes to a floating interest rate. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company designated ¥212.4 billion of the ¥250.0 billion of yen-denominated notes as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in a foreign operation. As a result, the foreign currency transaction gain or loss on the portion of the yen-denominated debt designated as a hedge is recorded in OCI as a part of the cumulative translation adjustment. As of June 27, 2015, the carrying value of the debt designated as a net investment hedge was $1.7 billion. For further discussion regarding the Company’s use of derivative instruments see the Derivative Financial Instruments section of Note 2, “Financial Instruments.” The effective interest rates for the Notes include the interest on the Notes, amortization of the discount and, if applicable, adjustments related to hedging. The Company recognized $197 million and $486 million of interest expense on its long-term debt for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015, respectively. The Company recognized $100 million and $268 million of interest expense on its long-term debt for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 28, 2014, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program In the third quarter of 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization to $140 billion of the Company’s common stock, of which $90.0 billion had been utilized as of June 27, 2015. The Company’s share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any specific number of shares. Under the program, shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 The Company has entered, and in the future may enter, into accelerated share repurchase arrangements (“ASRs”) with financial institutions. In exchange for up-front payments, the financial institutions deliver shares of the Company’s common stock during the purchase periods of each ASR. The total number of shares ultimately delivered, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, is determined at the end of the applicable purchase period of each ASR based on the volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock during that period. The shares received are retired in the periods they are delivered, and the up-front payments are accounted for as a reduction to shareholders’ equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in the periods the payments are made. The Company reflects the ASRs as a repurchase of common stock in the period delivered for purposes of calculating earnings per share and as forward contracts indexed to its own common stock. The ASRs met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification, and therefore were not accounted for as derivative instruments. The following table shows the Company’s ASR activity and related information during the nine months ended June 27, 2015 and the year ended September 27, 2014: Purchase Period Number of Average ASR May 2015 ASR November 2015 38,320 (1) (1) $ 6,000 August 2014 ASR February 2015 81,525 (2) $ 110.40 $ 9,000 January 2014 ASR December 2014 134,247 $ 89.39 $ 12,000 April 2013 ASR March 2014 172,548 $ 69.55 $ 12,000 (1) The number of shares represents shares delivered in the third quarter of 2015 and does not represent the final number of shares to be delivered under the May 2015 ASR. The total number of shares ultimately delivered under the May 2015 ASR, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, will be determined at the end of the applicable purchase period based on the volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock during that period. The May 2015 ASR purchase period will end in or before November 2015. (2) Includes 59.9 million shares delivered and retired at the beginning of the purchase period, which began in the fourth quarter of 2014, 8.3 million net shares delivered and retired in the first quarter of 2015 and 13.3 million shares delivered and retired at the end of the purchase period, which concluded in the second quarter of 2015. Additionally, the Company repurchased shares of its common stock in the open market, which were retired upon repurchase, during the periods presented as follows: Number of Shares Average Repurchase Price Per Share Amount 2015: Third quarter 31,231 $ 128.08 $ 4,000 Second quarter 56,400 $ 124.11 7,000 First quarter 45,704 $ 109.40 5,000 Total open market common stock repurchases 133,335 $ 16,000 2014: Fourth quarter 81,255 $ 98.46 $ 8,000 Third quarter 58,661 $ 85.23 5,000 Second quarter 79,749 $ 75.24 6,000 First quarter 66,847 $ 74.79 5,000 Total open market common stock repurchases 286,512 $ 24,000

Benefit Plans	Jun. 27, 2015
Benefit Plans	Note 9 – Benefit Plans Stock Plans The Company had 445.2 million shares reserved for future issuance under its stock plans as of June 27, 2015. RSUs granted generally vest over four years, based on continued employment, and are settled upon vesting in shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. Each share issued with respect to RSUs granted under the Company’s stock plans reduces the number of shares available for grant under the plan by two shares. RSUs cancelled and shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations increase the number of shares available for grant under the plans utilizing a factor of two times the number of RSUs cancelled or shares withheld. Stock options count against the number of shares available for grant on a one-for-one basis. Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans During the three months ended June 27, 2015, Section 16 officers Timothy D. Cook, Angela Ahrendts, Luca Maestri, Daniel Riccio and Jeffrey Williams had equity trading plans in place in accordance with Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) under the Exchange Act. An equity trading plan is a written document that pre-establishes the amounts, prices and dates (or formula for determining the amounts, prices and dates) of future purchases or sales of the Company’s stock, including shares acquired pursuant to the Company’s employee and director equity plans. Restricted Stock Units A summary of the Company’s RSU activity and related information for the nine months ended June 27, 2015 is as follows: Number of RSUs Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Aggregate Intrinsic Value Balance at September 27, 2014 103,822 $ 70.98 RSUs granted 41,679 $ 104.26 RSUs vested (37,495 ) $ 71.13 RSUs cancelled (4,461 ) $ 77.71 Balance at June 27, 2015 103,545 $ 84.03 $ 13,124 RSUs that vested during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 had fair values of $2.3 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, as of the vesting date. RSUs that vested during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 28, 2014 had fair values of $1.3 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, as of the vesting date. Stock Options The Company had 1.6 million stock options outstanding as of June 27, 2015, with a weighted-average exercise price per share of $16.62 and weighted-average remaining contractual term of 3.4 years, substantially all of which are exercisable. The aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options outstanding as of June 27, 2015 was $177 million, which represents the value of the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period in excess of the weighted-average exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding. The total intrinsic value of options at the time of exercise was $72 million and $439 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015, respectively, and $271 million and $978 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 28, 2014, respectively. Share-Based Compensation The following table shows a summary of the share-based compensation expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014 (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended June 27, 2015 June 28, 2014 June 27, 2015 June 28, 2014 Cost of sales $ 148 $ 115 $ 430 $ 334 Research and development 388 313 1,146 902 Selling, general and administrative 320 296 1,095 865 Total share-based compensation expense $ 856 $ 724 $ 2,671 $ 2,101 The income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense was $286 million and $948 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015, respectively, and was $260 million and $755 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 28, 2014, respectively. As of June 27, 2015, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options and RSUs expected to vest was $7.3 billion, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

Other agreements entered into by the Company sometimes include indemnification provisions under which the Company could be subject to costs and/or damages in the event of an infringement claim against the Company or an indemnified third-party. However, the Company has not been required to make any significant payments resulting from such an infringement claim asserted against it or an indemnified third-party. In the opinion of management, there was not at least a reasonable possibility the Company may have incurred a material loss with respect to indemnification of end-users of its operating system or application software for infringement of third-party intellectual property rights. The Company did not record a liability for infringement costs related to indemnification as of June 27, 2015 or September 27, 2014. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers. Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify such individuals to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities that arise by reason of their status as directors or officers and to advance expenses incurred by such individuals in connection with related legal proceedings. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each claim. However, the Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance coverage to reduce its exposure to such obligations, and payments made under these agreements historically have not been material. Concentrations in the Available Sources of Supply of Materials and Product Although most components essential to the Company’s business are generally available from multiple sources, a number of components are currently obtained from single or limited sources. In addition, the Company competes for various components with other participants in the markets for mobile communication and media devices and personal computers. Therefore, many components used by the Company, including those that are available from multiple sources, are at times subject to industry-wide shortage and significant pricing fluctuations that could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and operating results. The Company uses some custom components that are not commonly used by its competitors, and new products introduced by the Company often utilize custom components available from only one source. When a component or product uses new technologies, initial capacity constraints may exist until the suppliers’ yields have matured or manufacturing capacity has increased. If the Company’s supply of components for a new or existing product were delayed or constrained, or if an outsourcing partner delayed shipments of completed products to the Company, the Company’s financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected. The Company’s business and financial performance could also be materially adversely affected depending on the time required to obtain sufficient quantities from the original source, or to identify and obtain sufficient quantities from an alternative source. Continued availability of these components at acceptable prices, or at all, may be affected if those suppliers concentrated on the production of common components instead of components customized to meet the Company’s requirements. The Company has entered into agreements for the supply of many components; however, there can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to extend or renew these agreements on similar terms, or at all. Therefore, the Company remains subject to significant risks of supply shortages and price increases that could materially adversely affect its financial condition and operating results. Substantially all of the Company’s hardware products are manufactured by outsourcing partners that are located primarily in Asia. A significant concentration of this manufacturing is currently performed by a small number of outsourcing partners, often in single locations. Certain of these outsourcing partners are the sole-sourced suppliers of components and manufacturers for many of the Company’s products. Although the Company works closely with its outsourcing partners on manufacturing schedules, the Company’s operating results could be adversely affected if its outsourcing partners were unable to meet their production commitments. The Company’s purchase commitments typically cover its requirements for periods up to 150 days. Other Off-Balance Sheet Commitments Operating Leases The Company leases various equipment and facilities, including retail space, under noncancelable operating lease arrangements. The Company does not currently utilize any other off-balance sheet financing arrangements. The major facility leases are typically for terms not exceeding 10 years and generally contain multi-year renewal options. As of June 27, 2015, the Company had a total of 456 retail stores. Leases for retail space are for terms ranging from five to 20 years, the majority of which are for 10 years, and often contain multi-year renewal options. As of June 27, 2015, the Company’s total future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases were $5.0 billion, of which $3.4 billion related to leases for retail space. Other Commitments The Company utilizes several outsourcing partners to manufacture sub-assemblies for the Company’s products and to perform final assembly and testing of finished products. These outsourcing partners acquire components and build product based on demand information supplied by the Company, which typically covers periods up to 150 days. The Company also obtains individual components for its products from a wide variety of individual suppliers. Consistent with industry practice, the Company acquires components through a combination of purchase orders, supplier contracts and open orders based on projected demand information. Where appropriate, the purchases are applied to inventory component prepayments that are outstanding with the respective supplier. As of June 27, 2015, the Company had outstanding off-balance sheet third-party manufacturing commitments and component purchase commitments of $21.7 billion. In addition to the commitments mentioned above, the Company had other off-balance sheet obligations of $4.8 billion as of June 27, 2015 that consisted of commitments to acquire capital assets, including product tooling and manufacturing process equipment, and commitments related to advertising, research and development (“R&D”), internet and telecommunications services, energy and other obligations. Subsequent to June 27, 2015, the Company entered into additional other off-balance sheet obligations of $2.1 billion. Contingencies The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and that have not been fully adjudicated, certain of which are discussed in Part II, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q under the heading “Legal Proceedings” and in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q under the heading “Risk Factors.” In the opinion of management, there was not at least a reasonable possibility the Company may have incurred a material loss, or a material loss in excess of a recorded accrual, with respect to loss contingencies. However, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, if one or more of these legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected. Smartflash LLC, et al., v. Apple Inc., et al. On May 29, 2013, Smartflash LLC and Smartflash Technologies Limited filed an action against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division, alleging that the Company infringed certain patents relating to data storage and access systems. On February 24, 2015, a jury returned a verdict against the Company, and awarded damages of approximately $533 million. On July 7, 2015, the District Court vacated the award and ordered a new trial for damages. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a loss accrual at this time. Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, et al. On August 24, 2012, a jury returned a verdict awarding the Company $1.05 billion in its lawsuit against Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd and affiliated parties in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, San Jose Division. On March 6, 2014, the District Court entered final judgment in favor of the Company in the amount of approximately $930 million. On May 18, 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed in part, and reversed in part, the decision of the District Court. As a result, the Court of Appeals ordered entry of final judgment on damages in the amount of approximately $548 million, with the District Court to determine supplemental damages and interest, as well as damages owed for products subject to the reversal in part. Because the ruling remains subject to further proceedings, the Company has not recognized the award in its results of operations.

Segment Information and Geographic Data	Jun. 27, 2015
Segment Information and Geographic Data	Note 11 – Segment Information and Geographic Data The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable operating segments. The Company manages its business primarily on a geographic basis. The Company’s reportable operating segments consist of the Americas, Europe, Greater China, Japan and Rest of Asia Pacific. The Americas segment includes both North and South America. The Europe segment includes European countries, as well as India, the Middle East and Africa. The Greater China segment includes China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The Rest of Asia Pacific segment includes Australia and Asian countries, other than those countries included in the Company’s other operating segments. Each operating segment provides similar hardware and software products and similar services. The accounting policies of the various segments are the same as those described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the 2014 Form 10-K. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on net sales and operating income. Net sales for geographic segments are generally based on the location of customers and sales through the Company’s retail stores located in those geographic locations. Operating income for each segment includes net sales to third parties, related cost of sales and operating expenses directly attributable to the segment. Advertising expenses are generally included in the geographic segment in which the expenditures are incurred. Operating income for each segment excludes other income and expense and certain expenses managed outside the operating segments. Costs excluded from segment operating income include various corporate expenses such as R&D, corporate marketing expenses, certain share-based compensation expenses, income taxes, various nonrecurring charges and other separately managed general and administrative costs. The Company does not include intercompany transfers between segments for management reporting purposes. The following table shows information by operating segment for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014 (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended June 27, June 28, 2014 June 27, 2015 June 28, 2014 Americas: Net sales $ 20,209 $ 17,574 $ 72,091 $ 60,345 Operating income $ 6,177 $ 5,932 $ 24,064 $ 20,030 Europe: Net sales $ 10,342 $ 8,659 $ 39,760 $ 33,935 Operating income $ 3,275 $ 2,855 $ 13,269 $ 11,083 Greater China: Net sales $ 13,230 $ 6,230 $ 46,197 $ 25,561 Operating income $ 5,147 $ 2,081 $ 18,227 $ 8,869 Japan: Net sales $ 2,872 $ 2,627 $ 11,777 $ 11,719 Operating income $ 1,447 $ 1,214 $ 5,634 $ 5,376 Rest of Asia Pacific: Net sales $ 2,952 $ 2,342 $ 12,389 $ 9,112 Operating income $ 1,154 $ 706 $ 4,603 $ 2,978 A reconciliation of the Company’s segment operating income to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014 is as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended June 27, 2015 June 28, 2014 June 27, 2015 June 28, 2014 Segment operating income $ 17,200 $ 12,788 $ 65,797 $ 48,336 Research and development expense (2,034 ) (1,603 ) (5,847 ) (4,355 ) Other corporate expenses, net (1,083 ) (903 ) (3,343 ) (2,643 ) Total operating income $ 14,083 $ 10,282 $ 56,607 $ 41,338

Basis of Presentation and Preparation	Basis of Presentation and Preparation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2014, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as updated by the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 28, 2015 (hereinafter, the “2014 Form 10-K”). The Company’s fiscal year is the 52 or 53-week period that ends on the last Saturday of September. An additional week is included in the first fiscal quarter approximately every six years to realign fiscal quarters with calendar quarters. The Company’s fiscal years 2015 and 2014 each include 52 weeks. Unless otherwise stated, references to particular years, quarters or months refer to the Company’s fiscal years ended in September and the associated quarters or months of those fiscal years.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, shares to be purchased under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities. The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014 (net income in millions and shares in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended June 27, 2015 June 28, 2014 June 27, 2015 June 28, 2014 Numerator: Net income $ 10,677 $ 7,748 $ 42,270 $ 31,043 Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding 5,729,886 6,012,635 5,788,922 6,136,147 Effect of dilutive securities 43,213 39,076 40,998 36,710 Weighted-average diluted shares 5,773,099 6,051,711 5,829,920 6,172,857 Basic earnings per share $ 1.86 $ 1.29 $ 7.30 $ 5.06 Diluted earnings per share $ 1.85 $ 1.28 $ 7.25 $ 5.03 Potentially dilutive securities whose effect would have been antidilutive were not significant for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014. The Company excluded these securities from the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments The Company may use derivatives to partially offset its business exposure to foreign currency and interest rate risk on expected future cash flows, on net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries and on certain existing assets and liabilities. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange or interest rates. To help protect gross margins from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar may hedge a portion of forecasted foreign currency revenue, and subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar and who sell in local currencies may hedge a portion of forecasted inventory purchases not denominated in the subsidiaries’ functional currencies. The Company may enter into forward contracts, option contracts or other instruments to manage this risk and may designate these instruments as cash flow hedges. The Company typically hedges portions of its forecasted foreign currency exposure associated with revenue and inventory purchases, typically for up to 12 months. To help protect the net investment in a foreign operation from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company may enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to offset the changes in the carrying amounts of these investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, the Company may use non-derivative financial instruments, such as its foreign-currency-denominated debt, as economic hedges of its net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries. In both of these cases, the Company designates these instruments as net investment hedges. The Company may also enter into non-designated foreign currency contracts to partially offset the foreign currency exchange gains and losses generated by the re-measurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company may enter into interest rate swaps, options, or other instruments to manage interest rate risk. These instruments may offset a portion of changes in income or expense, or changes in fair value of the Company’s long-term debt or investments. The Company designates these instruments as either cash flow or fair value hedges. The Company’s hedged interest rate transactions as of June 27, 2015 are expected to be recognized within 12 years. Cash Flow Hedges The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of foreign currency revenue are recognized as a component of net sales in the same period as the related revenue is recognized, and deferred gains and losses related to cash flow hedges of inventory purchases are recognized as a component of cost of sales in the same period as the related costs are recognized. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of interest income or expense are recognized in other income/(expense), net in the same period as the related income or expense is recognized. The ineffective portions and amounts excluded from the effectiveness testing of cash flow hedges are recognized in other income/(expense), net. These amounts were not significant during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Deferred gains and losses in AOCI associated with such derivative instruments are reclassified immediately into other income/(expense), net. Any subsequent changes in fair value of such derivative instruments are reflected in other income/(expense), net unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions. The Company did not recognize any significant net gains or losses related to the loss of hedge designation on discontinued cash flow hedges during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014. Net Investment Hedges The effective portions of net investment hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as a part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The ineffective portions and amounts excluded from the effectiveness testing of net investment hedges are recognized in other income/(expense), net and were not significant during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014. Fair Value Hedges Gains and losses related to changes in fair value hedges are recognized in earnings along with a corresponding loss or gain related to the change in value of the underlying hedged item. The ineffective portions and amounts excluded from the effectiveness testing of fair value hedges recognized were not significant during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014. Non-Designated Derivatives Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in the financial statement line item to which the derivative relates. The net gains and losses recognized for foreign currency forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments were not significant during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014.
