The official BDS list is very small and targeted and does not contain Apple (yet). BDS is meant as a starting point for the most important companies to boycott according to the BDS org. Boycotting beyond that is still effective.

    I use an extended list that contains companies connected to those on the main list, and companies connected to those companies. I'm still a little surprised Apple hasn't been on the official list yet, but hopefully this will get them added to it.

    I use the No Thanks app which contains almost every brand and only occasionally run into some tech stuff which is difficult because almost all of the major players have Israel links but I try to get AMD since they're least bad in that respect for now.

    I use Boycat, which has a barcode scanner. There are a few things that I've found that should be on its list that aren't (largely due to recent buyouts), but it's very handy when I'm not sure about something in the store.

    I haven't bought any tech lately. I'm hoping that Chinese GPUs will hit American markets eventually and I can just avoid all the American tech companies before I need to upgrade. We'll see.
