To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Apple Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Apple Inc. as of September 24, 2022 and September 25, 
2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of 
the three years in the period ended September 24, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial 
statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Apple Inc. at 
September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in 
the period ended September 24, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the 
“PCAOB”), Apple Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 24, 2022, based on criteria established in 
Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 
(2013 framework) and our report dated October 27, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
