Deep Pockets
Not sure what people mean by deep pockets, but Apple has more cash than Microsoft or Google, and far more net cash. In the latest quarterly earnings updates Apple reported $34 Billion cash and long term investments and no debt. Microsoft has $30 Billion and $5.76 B in debt. Google has $21B and no debt.
Apple is also a larger company by market capitalization than Google. It's the fourth largest company in the US after Exxon, Microsoft and Wal-Mart.
