Why isn't Apple attacking the enterprise market?

#1
There are few markets Apple can enter to continue its growth trajectory, given its size. Enterprise computing is such a market. With Apple silicon, supply chain, support infrastructure, and Mac laptops increasingly used on the client side, why isn’t Apple more aggressively attacking the enterprise market? Seems like a lost opportunity to me. Curious to hear thoughts on this.

The short answer is: Apple would give away control of their products if they did.

Enterprise/Corporate/Govt all have tedious amounts of niche needs and requirements to endlessly grow.

Can’t find the quote as I’m on my phone, but when a former exec from Apple left and joined a corp, and asked Steve if he wanted to expand to corporate, he said he won’t stop him, but he isn’t going to help him either. (I’m sure I butchered it), but something like that.

Remember, IT = Control.

They do but mostly in their peripherals. The monitors they sell are for the enterprise creative and entertainment industries: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/pro-display-xdr

Their mainstream prosumer computers are also fine and widely used in many enterprises industries
