Apple the company may be one of the largest on the planet, with more cash on hand than the U.S. government. But have you ever wondered about how it compares to the fruit of the same name? Of course you have.
This MBA Online infographic raises the all-important question: how does the lunch box-staple fruit stack up against the Cupertino tech giant? Which industry makes more stuff, and which makes more money?
While annual sales of the fruit beat out annual production of Mac and iOS technology in sheer weight (71 million vs. 138,000 tons), Apple’s sales just edge ahead of the fruit ($32 billion vs. $30 billion).
Some interesting similarities: China produces 100% of electronic Apples and 44% of the fruit, a significant bite of the global crop. People on the U.S.’s West Coast are the biggest consumers of both; they eat 30% of the country’s apples. In the Bay Area, one in three people own an Apple device.
Peruse through more comparisons below. Can you draw any more points that connect the technology and the fruit? We’d love to read your goofy additions in the comments.
