Apple
Apple is an electronic products company in the Cars world. It is based on the actual electronics company of the same name. It sponsors Mac iCar, J.P. Drive and one unnamed racer.
History
Cars
Apple sponsors Mac iCar and his team in the Piston Cup Racing Series. Mac iCar's racing number is 84, which is the same year that Apple, Inc. famously released the Macintosh personal computer (1984).
Cars 2
Though not much information regarding its products has been revealed, a reference to it is made in Cars 2, when Mater says that his line of work is towing and salvage. Finn McMissile replies by saying, "And Ms. Shiftwell's is designing iPhone apps."
Cars 3
Mac iCar retires some time before the 2016 Piston Cup season and is replaced by another racer. Regardless, the Apple racer gets fired and is replaced by a next-generation racer named J.P. Drive midway through the season. Additionally, Lightning McQueen's computer inside Mack's trailer resembles an iMac, as it has black framing around its screen.

Trivia
- In Planes, however, a skyPad belonging to Zed appears, but is crushed by Ripslinger. It is unknown whether or not this is a product of Apple, or another company.
- In Cars, the team's racing number was the same as that of the Re-Volting team. That problem was fixed in Cars 3 when the latter changed their number to 48.
- Apple and Dale Earnhardt inc are the only piston cup sponsors to be real companies
