The top 25 Apple shareholders own 40% of the company. Institutions own the lion’s share in the company with 55% ownership.
Simply Wall St. via Yahoo Finance:
Because institutional owners have a huge pool of resources and liquidity, their investing decisions tend to carry a great deal of weight, especially with individual investors. Therefore, a good portion of institutional money invested in the company is usually a huge vote of confidence on its future.
Investors should note that institutions actually own more than half the company, so they can collectively wield significant power. Apple is not owned by hedge funds. The company’s largest shareholder is The Vanguard Group, Inc.
A deeper look at our ownership data shows that the top 25 shareholders collectively hold less than half of the register, suggesting a large group of small holders where no single shareholder has a majority.

I say this as a ‘fight back to the Mac’ guy, but seriously: if there were a viable third party alternative to Apple at this point, I would be all in, from desktops to mobile. If you actually understand the first part of my comment, you would get the rest.
Modern Apple is a joke, Steve chose his successor very poorly, and what dominates their teams in the 21st century – we may as well go back to soldiering our own boards, because this is boosheet. Sonoma is worse than its predecessor, iOS 17 is worse than its predecessor – this is simply a trend, now. If the hardware weren’t still good I don’t know what the point would be anymore. I won’t say Windows 11 is better, but it is damn near equal at this point, and that is not a compliment, Windows still exemplifies terrible. I don’t know that this is ever going to get better with Apple. It would be hysterical and tragic if that after their meteoric rise Apple more or less ended back up back in the Sculley years.
