"iPhone and iPad are transforming how people everywhere get work done," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement. "And through this partnership, we're able to help even more businesses tap into the incredible capabilities that only the Apple ecosystem can deliver."

Punit Renjen, CEO of Deloitte Global stated that the puspose is to being the best engineers, products and thinkers to try their level best and address the clients' problems, all at one location.

Apple, which focused only on customers earlier, has changed its perspective and had announced partnerships with IBM, Cisco and SAP, according to CNET. Apple is looking forward to partnerships as the iPhone sales in the previous quarter were fewer than that of the last year. iPhone sales attribute to two-thirds of the company's sales and a downfall in those sales has forced the organization to look for other options.

The fastest way to progress in any enterprise is to join hands with companies which hold a strong foot in the space already. The purpose of Apple's deal with Deloitte is to remain at the top of the minds of corporate giants while they think strategically about their practices.

A partnership signed with IBM in 2014 indicated Apple's objectives of getting serious about corporate clients and deals with CISCO and SAP followed soon after. Cook had declared in 2015 that the company's revenues had reached $25 billion. However, he refused to share the new figures on Wednesday. He has reiterated the fact that Apple has a significant momentum which they see as an important factor for growth.
