I bought a single share of AAPL in 1/2008. Then another share in 10/2008. I slowly expanded my investment as it split. It's the second-highest performing stock or fund I've owned over that 15yr period ($TSLA is the highest).
$AAPL pays a dividend. Reinvest the dividends and go long.

If you like Apple and their products and believe in the company, own part of it. This isn't good advice in a silo, because it doesn't make a full portfolio, but I have stuck to it since I started investing and it's been generally good advice.
