Apple may be using that firm for something, but Apple is not incorporated in Delaware. Their state of incorporation is California according to their SEC filings, and has been since at least as far back as 1994.

Apple has state based branches registered in many states that it does business: https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ca/C0806592/statemen...

These are so irrelevant to the California corporation that Apple has argued in court that there’s no corporate nexus in Delaware and so litigation there is not a valid venue: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/judge-single-apple-store-make...

It didn’t work, but the ruling was based more around the existence of a retail store there than anything else.

Yes, came here to post this. No evidence that Apple is incorporated in Delaware. How many other companies did they get wrong?

It seems the only mentions of Apple being incorporated in Delaware are from news articles and infopieces like TFA, no actual documents showing they are.

It doesn't seem to be the case. From their last 10-K: "The Company is a California corporation established in 1977."
