Apple implemented their DRM quite a while back and so far, no one has taken the time and trouble to try breaking it.

Kobo is currently using three versions of DRM. Adobe ADEPT which has been broken for quite a while since very few implementations of Adobe's hardened DRM are to be found in the wild, KDRM which has been broken for a few years, while in Europe, LCP DRM seems to be a choice.

Some ebook vendors have switched to LCP which is being protected by DCMA takedown notices which, not very surprisingly, have not been very effective for sites outside the USA.
LCP has been broken. And DeDRM also has support for Adobe's hardened DRM. So basically it's just Amazon's new KFX DRM and Apple's DRM that are not yet broken.
