      Apple: Think Different

      Today, the Apple brand is so well-known that it needs no introduction. With products including the Mac, the iPad, the iPod and the iPhone, the California-based company continues to surprise and delight its devoted user base, and remains a beacon of success. In a world where technology and digital media play an ever-increasing role, Apple is now one of the most valuable companies on the planet.
