Apple's irrelevant to BTC whether they accept or not. Their market share is negligible in productive economy, so they're not really a supplier to the industrial chain we're looking for. Academic institutions, where Apple's more pervasive (if only because of Apple-lobbied government "technology grants"), are going to be one of the last, if ever, to accept BTC, so even though they do see a lot of deployment in schools, it's still not terribly relevant -- there's not much target audience crossover. Dell is a bit different -- businesses use Dell for large-scale deployment, which makes a "BTC serpent" model, where the business can accept BTC and use BTC to buy supplies and capital investments hassle-free, more viable. BitPay, for example, can go ahead and order 100 Dell PCs for office use in BTC with a business model where they accept BTC, and that's awesome -- but it's still too incomplete, because Dell sure isn't paying its suppliers with BTC. Other related companies like IBM, Cisco, Foxconn, or Linksys would be huge.
Every little drop, though, I guess.
