The account is official - it's a featured channel linked to Apple's official primary channel, which is often used for ads and keynote videos, and it's got a YouTube verification check. 

Some of the videos highlight features obvious to any longtime Apple user, like how to take a screenshot. But other videos show handy, lesser-known features, like how to access Apple's GIF library through the keyboard.

Apple's been making a lot of these handy videos lately. It released one last month that focused exclusively on the iPhone X and changes to its interface. And last year it launched a Twitter account called "Apple Support" delivering customer service directly on social media.
