(REVERSE OF NOTE)

APPLE INC.

[●]% Note due 2024

Apple Inc. (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from August 18, 2017. Interest on this Note will be paid to, but excluding, the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing February 19, 2018, to Holders at the close of business on the immediately preceding Interest Record Date; provided, that if an Interest Payment Date for this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next Business Day. For a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. For an interest period that is not a full semi-annual interest period, interest on a Note will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days in such interest period.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful.

For the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which interest is calculated hereunder for any period in any calendar year (the “Calculation Period”) is equivalent to the rate payable hereunder in respect of the Calculation Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the actual number of days in such calendar year and the denominator of which is the actual number of days in the Calculation Period. The foregoing sentence is for the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada) only and not for any other purpose and shall not otherwise affect the terms of this Note.

BNY Trust Company of Canada (the “Paying Agent”) will initially act as paying agent and transfer agent for the Notes. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will initially act as security registrar for the Notes.

This Note is one of the 2.513% Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) issued under an indenture, dated as of April 29, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as supplemented by an Officer’s Certificate, dated August 18, 2017, issued pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). This Note is a “Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture.

“Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation or executive order to close in Toronto, Ontario, Canada or New York, New York, United States of America.

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of them.

All payments of principal of, the redemption price (if any), and interest and additional amounts (as provided in Section 8 hereof, if any), on the Notes, will be payable in CAD, provided, that if on or after August 15, 2017, CAD is unavailable to the Issuer due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Issuer’s control, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until CAD is again available to the Issuer. The amount payable on any date in CAD will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/CAD exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Notes or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of C$2,000 and any integral multiple of C$1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Notes may be amended or supplemented and any existing default or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of Outstanding Securities (including the Notes) under the Indenture that is affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder of the Notes, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes in any material respect.

Prior to the Par Call Date (as defined below), the Issuer may redeem the Notes at the Issuer’s option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed; or (2) the Canada Yield Price (as defined below).

On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes at the Issuer’s option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed.

In each case, the Issuer will also pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

Installments of interest on Notes being redeemed that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a redemption date shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Interest Record Date according to the Notes and the Indenture.

“Canada Yield Price” means, in respect of any Notes being redeemed, the price, in respect of the principal amount of the Notes, calculated as of the third business day prior to the redemption date of such Notes, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) and principal on the Notes to be redeemed from the redemption date to the Par Call Date using as a discount rate the sum of the Government of Canada Yield on such business day plus                  basis points.

“Government of Canada Yield” means, on any date, the bid-side yield to maturity on such date as determined by the arithmetic average (rounded to three decimal places) of the yields quoted at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) by any two investment dealers in Canada selected by the Issuer, assuming semi-annual compounding and calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice, which a non-callable Government of Canada bond would carry if issued in Canadian dollars in Canada at 100% of its principal amount on such date with a term to maturity that most closely approximates the remaining term to the Par Call Date.

“Par Call Date” means June 19, 2024 (two months prior to the maturity date).

The provisions of Article XI of the Indenture shall apply to any redemption of the Notes.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the Notes will state, among other things, the amount of the Notes to be redeemed, the redemption date, the manner in which the redemption price will be calculated and the place or places that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on or after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes that have been called for redemption at the redemption date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected according to Depositary procedures, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, or by lot, in the case of Notes that are not represented by a Global Note.

All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatsoever nature imposed by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law.

In the event any withholding or deduction on payments in respect of the Notes for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge is required to be deducted or withheld by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts on the Notes as will result in receipt by each beneficial owner of a Note that is not a U.S. Person (as defined below) of such amounts (after all such withholding or deduction, including on any additional amounts) as would have been received by such beneficial owner had no such withholding or deduction been required. The Issuer will not be required, however, to make any payment of additional amounts for or on account of:

nor will the Issuer pay any additional amounts to any beneficial owner or Holder of Notes who is a fiduciary or partnership to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to that fiduciary or a member of that partnership or a beneficial owner thereof would not have been entitled to the payment of those additional amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the beneficial owner of those Notes.

As used in this Section 8, “U.S. Person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States person under any applicable U.S. Treasury regulations), or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.

Any reference in the Indenture or the Notes to any amounts payable in respect of the Notes shall be deemed also to refer to any additional amounts which may be payable under this Section 8.

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after August 15, 2017, the Issuer becomes, or based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Issuer, will become obligated to pay additional amounts as described under Section 8 hereof with respect to the Notes, then the Issuer may at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes on not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with interest accrued but unpaid on the Notes to the date fixed for redemption.

If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the Issuer) under the Indenture occurs with respect to the Notes and is continuing, then the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, shall by written notice, require the Issuer to repay immediately the entire principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the Outstanding Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes. Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it reasonably requires. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain continuing defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is not opposed to their interest.

This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Note or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP/ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.
