If I wanted to contact Apple directly about an idea I had how would I do that?

Oh cool what is it? Software, hardware, concept? Anyway, the best thing
I can think to do is to email them directly and hope to get through to someone important or try using the Apple support button at the top of their website and see if you can find something. For a last resort go to their support forums and ask this same question.

Good luck!

You could always show up in Cupertino.

If you email or post them anything, you’ll get a rejection immediately for legal reasons. A policy on idea submission is actually on their website (although I can’t find it right now) and it ain’t pretty. The company needs to protect itself from being accused of IP theft; if you send them something and they didn’t go through the proper motions of transferring the IP, you could later try suing them. It’s all pretty dumb, but that’s how it is. Simple feedback and bug reports through the feedback channels are all they’re willing to accept. If you really want to show them something and would like a job, push for a meeting.

Good luck.
I think you should try getting a postal address and send them a registered letter!

Just to be clear, I previously suggested to try and get in contact with someone important through email. do not send your idea through email unless you get an actual interest and feel confident. I also support trying to get a meeting set up.
