Apple is a giant in the tech industry, but it's not invincible.
There are some companies that can compete with Apple in terms of innovation, quality and customer loyalty. One of them is Samsung, which has a strong presence in the smartphone, tablet and smartwatch markets. Samsung also offers a range of products that Apple doesn't, such as TVs, laptops and appliances.
Another competitor is Microsoft, which dominates the PC software market and has made strides in cloud computing, gaming and hardware. Microsoft's Surface line of devices is a direct challenge to Apple's MacBooks and iPads. A third contender is Google, which owns the most popular search engine and web browser in the world, as well as the Android operating system that powers most of the non-Apple smartphones.
Google also has a stake in artificial intelligence, smart home devices and online services.
These are just some of the examples of companies that can compete with Apple in different segments of the tech industry. They may not surpass Apple in every aspect, but they can certainly give it a run for its money.
