Do I need 100 shares of AAPL to sell a covered call?

Yes. One options contract covers 100 shares, so selling one covered call on AAPL requires owning at least 100 shares. If you own fewer, the position would not be "covered."

What is the risk of selling covered calls on AAPL?

The main trade-off is capped upside: if Apple rises above your strike price by expiration, your shares can be called away at the strike. You keep the premium either way, but you give up gains beyond the strike. You also keep full downside exposure to the stock itself. This page is educational information, not investment advice.
