> Apple isn't even a person

Legally, that pile of paperwork gives the Apple corporation some rights of a person. Obviously it is not a living, breathing person in the biological sense. But it is treated as one from a legal perspective.

Should it be? That's a different question. Changing that would probably upend contract law.

IANAL
