It is not common for American for-profit corporations to accept donations. What you are paying is a retail price for Apple products. (Post edited after a check of the legality, but donating to Apple would still be highly unusual, and if the parent admits to doing this, he’s not going to get any less grief.)

I don't think this is true. You can donate to a for-profit corporation. It just counts as income to them and isn't deductible to you.
