At Bell Labs, he was one of the designers of the first inter-frame video codec, resulting in several patents. At North Electric he headed a group that developed transmission and synchronization systems for one of the first digital telephone switching systems, also resulting in several patents.

He did the first design ever done for a digital broadcast system (CBS Television). He was Assistant Program Manager for digital signal processing terminals for MILSTAR satellites.

Dr. Apple has been active in component software development and has published papers and given many presentations on the application of such to digital broadcasting, especially for education. He has written over a hundred concept and promotional papers including for two U.S. Presidents, Congressional Committees, U.S. Dept. of Education, U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NASA, DARPA, and others.
