The article that was in this past Sunday's NYT made some interesting points:

The Apple workforce is primarily, though not exclusively, 20 somethings. They get medical coverage, but they are pretty much the healthiest demographic to insure, plus they are generally single and no kids, so no additional coverage for spouse and sibblings. They seldom stick around for other benefits, and their 401(k) is portable. With no commision structure and career path, turnover is pretty much predictable and can be factored into the business model.
