We don't refer to companies in the plural. The correct phrasing is "Apple isn't your friend". Apple is one company. It makes things.

If we are using British English, which we might do if we are (for example) British, then we generally do in fact refer to companies -- as well as rock bands, teams, and other collective nouns -- in the plural.
It is customary in UK english to refer to companies as plural.
You don't. I do.
A company is people. A company does not make a decision. One or more people do.
