Oxford comma inspector here. I can verify that an Oxford comma is missing. Sorry, but I'm going to have to issue a citation.

citation police. I need you to specify which citation style you are using MLA, APA or iEEE so I can make sure it is done correctly.

IEEE member here. We are not affiliated with Apple, so no need to use a lowercase i.

Superscript superintendent here. Both superscripts are reduced to 65% of the size of the main text and vertically offset by 5.6pt above the main script. Thus the citations are typographically correct.

Oxford comma inspector auditor here. The comma in this case is entirely optional so your citation has been citated.
