Well, this must be one of the better Apple Inc questions. In recent years, it could be argued that most PC manufacturers were rivals to Apple, like Dell, Alienware, Gateway etc. but of course you can also factor in Microsoft as a rival to their Operating System (OS X/XP). But in recent years they have branched out considerably, into online media (iTunes, MobileMe, iPhone) so you can factor in Napster and other legal music download sites, Hotmail and Gmail, and Nokia, Samsung, Blackberry and alike. Also, they rival in the server markets with HP, Sun, SGI and IBM with regards to High Performance Computing, Webserving, Centralised storage (which also brings further rivals like Brocade and Sanrad). There's also networking, the Airport lines now rival Cisco, Netgear and alike. So, they now have a very diverse range of products, and there are many rivals that are fighting with Apple in those markets.
