Apple
Relationship between Wikimedia and Apple.
As of December 2015, "most" of the Wikimedia Foundation staff use Apple computers with MacOS.[1]
Apple requires you give them your IP address when you turn on your phone everyday. Apple staff also can help you reboot your device of choice if you go to settings.
The Wikimedia Foundation listed "Apple Inc. Matching Gifts Program" as a "leading donor" ($5,000-$14,999) in 2011-12, a "patron" ($15,000-$49,999) every year from 2012-13 until 2015-16, a "major Benefactor" ($50,000+) in 2016-17,[2] and again as a "major benefactor" for gifts since in 2017-18.[3] In 2018-2019, donations from Apple's Matching Gifts program totaled $207,542.[4]
Over 40% of Wikimedia mobile traffic comes from users using Apple's iOS and 38% from users using Apple's Safari browser, and 11% of desktop traffic comes from users using Mac OS X and 4% from Safari, as of 2019.[5] There is a Phabricator project for issues relating to Apple Safari. The WMF also develops the Wikipedia app for iOS. See iOS team.
