Source: Apple's annual reports on Form 10-K via SEC XBRL company facts, updated Nov. 3, 2026. Our arithmetic: operating cash flow minus capital expenditures, both as reported. Companies that publish their own free cash flow figure may define it differently. For each year the most recent 10-K that reports it is used, so a figure a company later restated shows the restated value; the filing link shows which report it came from. Change is our arithmetic.
