Invention ideas

So I have an idea for an apple product and I'm 19 years old so i don't make much money but I have this idea that i would like to run by apple and see what i could do to partner up with them on this item if they approved it. How would i go about it?

This is a user-to-user forum so there won't be an official Apple presence here other than the Hosts, who keep the wheels from falling off the forums and and break up the ocassional donnybrook.


From the Walter Isaacson bio of Steve Jobs, I learned that Apple does not use unsolicited third-party ideas. If they need something and come to you, that's different.


If you still want to try, go for it. Many great inventors have been told "no " and managed to win over the naysayers!


Anything of that nature should be sent certified mail to the Apple Headquarters, From teh "contact us" link on the Apple home page:
