Apple Inc
Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) is the consumer technology company behind the iPhone, Apple Watch, and the iOS ecosystem. In the context of this vault, Apple is the parent of Apple Pay and Apple Cash — the two products most directly displacing PayPal Branded Checkout and Venmo respectively among younger consumers. Apple’s control of the iOS default wallet and Face ID authentication gives it a structural distribution advantage over any third-party checkout product.
