Apple versus Samsung is one of the fiercest rivalries in the world of tech. You can’t use one without shunning the other. Depending on your preference, you will either love or hate these Apple quotes.
Most of Apple’s innovative new products come out of their Industrial Design studio. Employee turnover is extremely low among the 20-strong team of designers. However, that isn’t because they’re given an easy ride. In fact, productivity is said to be 40% higher at Apple than most companies.
With a company culture that values input from all levels of the organisation, employees feel valued and subsequently put all of their energy into designing, building and selling Apple products that consumers love.
As a result, Apple is now one of the world’s most desirable and well-known brands, as these Apple quotes show:
Apple quotes from business leaders

“Each year has been so robust with problems and successes and learning experiences that a year is a lifetime at Apple.” – Steve Jobs
“Apple really beats to a different drummer. I used to say that Apple should be the Sony of this business, but in reality, I think Apple should be the Apple of this business.” – Steve Jobs
