Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows how to get in touch with a product development team at apple or someone I can talk to to pitch a new idea I have.

I have submitted feedback on Apple's website but I feel that will just get jumbled with other junk they have.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Just patent it and move on with your life. If it is truly a good idea someone else will think of it eventually, then you can sue them.

Apple making your idea their own aside, feedback is as far as you can go.
