Apple reported $3,420,000 in federal lobbying for the third quarter of 2025, counting amendments. The same quarter a year earlier came to $2,410,000.
In-house spending makes up $2,790,000 of the total. Apple first reported $2,530,000 in in-house expenses in a filing posted 2025-10-20. It posted an amended report on 2026-02-15 with the $2,790,000 figure.
Outside firms reported $630,000 across seven filings, all posted 2025-10-20:

The filings are public record, and the material shows no comment from Apple on them.
The amendment is in the filing.
