Open the primary source

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Search Filings page provides free public access to EDGAR, its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system. Company Search accepts a name, stock symbol, or filer identifier. Use Apple for the R1 and R2 example.

Identify the filing

Apple's filing details identify Form 10-K, the filing date October 31, 2025, and the period of report September 27, 2025. The document table links to aapl-20250927.htm, marked 10-K. Other rows include exhibits, the attachments to the submission.

The page also records accession number 0000320193-25-000079 for this submission and Central Index Key (CIK) 0000320193 for Apple. These identifiers help preserve a precise source link; the scripts do not ask students to memorize them.

What was checked

The search page and filing details were read as text on September 12, 2026. The older company-list route could not be retrieved in the revision pass. Its earlier reported labels are not proof of a working browser path. Recheck the complete route before recording clicks.
