As of July last year, the said company has about 360 retail stores in ten countries, and an online store. The company enjoys worldwide recognition because as others put it, they have managed to make technology sexy. They are a good example of how a customer-centered brand experience can really translate to impressive sales and overall market performance.
Fortune magazine branded Apple as the most admired company worldwide, and stays in the top spot relatively unchallenged.

Proof to their nonconformity is their introduction of ultrathin notebook, the Macbook Air and their range of multitouch devices like the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Apple’s impressive lineup of portable devices allows users to access the World Wide Web, whenever and wherever they want.
