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 Miss Shiftwell's is designing iPhone apps."
Cars 3
Mac iCar continues to race in Cars 3. In 2016, he 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, and has a FaceTime application (used to call Mater half way through the movie).
