- 29% of Apple's leaders are women, up 1 percentage point from the prior year.
- Nearly two-thirds of its leaders are white, with 3% Black and 7% Hispanic
- 39% of its leaders under 30 are women.
- 32% of its global workforce are women
- 54% of its U.S. workforce is white, 21% Asian, 9% Black, 13% Hispanic, 3% multiracial
- 23% of Apple's technical workforce globally is female
