"Our hearts go out to all of those impacted by the devastation of Hurricane Milton," said Cook. "To everyone still in harm's way, please stay safe. Apple will be making a donation to help with relief efforts on the ground."

Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key, Florida late Wednesday. The storm, and many tornadoes that resulted from it, caused catastrophic damage, flooding, and loss of life across many areas of Florida.

Apple has donated to the American Red Cross for hurricane relief efforts in the past.

Why would the keep the amount a secret?
Because any announced amount, no matter how large, would be criticized as not near enough by the usual suspects. “Apple is a $3T company and they should have donated at least $1T. Fire Tim Cook. Apple is a cheapskate."

The destruction is terrible. Those folks need all the help they can get.

I have family there and was checking before the storm hit whether they had iPhones newer than 14 (so they could send texts via satellite). Sadly the newest phones they have are 13s. Fortunately everyone is okay but it made me think I might want to upgrade mom's phone, for next time.

I live in SWFL. Yesterday was pretty wild. Not like Sarasota or Tampa, but we had tornadoes then wind… yet when the storm came onshore and the winds shifted… holy cow. The back end of the storm was much worse for us. We lost power, but we’re ok.

Everyone up the coast is going to need lots of help. Donate what you can, if you can.

Why would the keep the amount a secret?
Because no matter what the amount is, people here and elsewhere will complain/moan that it's not enough. Apparently that helps those who do it feel good. Happens every single time. I'm guessing it will be in the millions. I have no idea how many.
