This template doesn't look good enough. I'm sure we can do better. Peter S. 23:26, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
from the board of directors. As of Oct 4 2006
On the apple website, there are two separate tabs alongside the "Mac" tab for "iPod/iTunes" and "iPhone". Shouldn't they be separated from true accessories like mice and monitors here?
Yes. iPod and iPhone are definitely hardware and not just accessories. They are meant to be used by themselves, not to enhance something else.I moved them to their rightful place. 75.168.31.51 ( talk) 10:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Macintosh isn't the name of any of the current models that Apple makes. It's the name of the series. Why is it in the list of hardware? 75.168.31.51 ( talk) 11:08, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Considering that Filemaker Inc. is a separate entity (albeit wholly owned by Apple), it doesn't make sense that their products are listed in the Apple template. 65.168.253.172 ( talk) 16:00, 22 June 2009 (UTC) Sorry, hadn't logged in with the first edit.

The criticism link should, as in Template:Microsoft Windows family, move to History and Outline right under the header. Right now it is buried in History under Related. 194.54.31.24 ( talk) 11:48, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Mdann52 (
talk) 15:30, 5 June 2012 (UTC)Why can hardware not appear back on here as it was before? It is the very fundamental of what the company does; they make and sell hardware at their core, regardless of added-value software/services (old saying in tech circles "Apple is a hardware company, Google is an advertising company, MS is a software & services company"). Furthermore, SW/services/HW are all essentially PRODUCTS, so why should some products appear in the main template while others do not, it's nonsensical to someone looking for Apple links in their main infobox.

I have fully protected this template for a week. This lame edit war needs to stop. This will give you time to discuss the changes before they are implemented. To Jimthing: Don't revert again after the protection expires without having reached consensus. Edit warring is not allowed under any circumstance, and I wouldn't like to block you because of that. → Call me Hahc 21 20:11, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
@ Jimthing: I am pointing this out to you because you started the edit war. Codename Lisa removed some information with a reasonable argument, I suppose. You reverted, which is okay as a means that you disagreed with her change and wanted to keep the status quo before engaging in productive discussion. All that was perfectly fine. The problem arose when you kept reverting Lisa and started reverting FleetCommand too. It's not that all the fault lies upon you, but discussing and reverting can't be made simultaneously. Doing so can be construed as an irrespectful attempt to dismiss consensus and to impose a my way or the highway approach, which is indeed problematic. I'd advice all of you to use the next seven days to discuss this issue in depth, and perform the changes that have consensus. → Call me Hahc 21 20:49, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Should Beats Electronics ( Beats Music) be listed under Subsidiaries or Acquisitions? It is currently listed under both, which shouldn't happen. Ollieinc ( talk) 10:20, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
I noticed that back in 2012 a significant change was made to this template that removed all of the {{ nowrap}} templates. However, lists are no longer wrapping correctly. The bullets/list item delimiters ("·") should never begin a new line and should always be next to the list item to its left. Is this a bug? Is there a larger {{ navbox}} discussion about this somewhere where I can catch up on the conversation? (Admittedly I've been away from editing Wikipedia for the past few years so a lot has changed since I last edited this page.) Thanks! ~ Paul T +/ C 20:14, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
I think it might make sense to re-order the sections of this navbox so that the founders, executives, and board members are at the very bottom of the template. When people think about Apple, invariably the first thing that comes to mind are their products, not the people that work(ed) there. Here is how it currently stands:
And here is what I'd like to change it to:
Does anyone have an issue with this change or an alternate suggestion? - Paul T +/ C 17:08, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi, the news sources on Apple TV Channels, and Apple's website, treat it as separate and different from Apple TV+. (Example: [1])
Apple website example: https://www.apple.com/apple-tv-plus/ vs. https://www.apple.com/apple-tv-app/ (1/3 of the way down -- "Take control of your channels.")
So maybe that tail end of services should read: "TV ( TV+ ( List of programs) • TV Channels)"
Infoman99 ( talk) 22:20, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
TV (+ (List of programs) Channels)will do. I do think it is a definite improvement to the way that it was. Does that work for you? - Paul T +/ C 01:21, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
