Actual support for diversity from the very top since day 1 (I'm not sure if it isn't apocryphal, but the original logo of a bitten apple in rainbow colors is supposedly a reference to Alan Turing, who wasn't just the most influential computer scientist, significant figure in winning WW2, but also killed by the anti-gay inquisition of his time that drove him to kill himself with a poisoned apple).
Also: you are asking about Apple because it's one of the most prominent companies in the field. It's prominent because it's successful. It's successful because it creates excellent products. Excellent products are created by excellent people. Biases in hiring are detrimental to hiring, and a divers team will (all other things being equal) be better – especially in terms of creativity.
