The electrophotographic apparatus includes: an electrophotographic photosensitive member; a charging unit configured to charge a surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member; an image exposing unit configured to form an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member; a developing unit configured to form a toner image on the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member; a transfer unit configured to transfer the toner image from the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member onto a transfer material; and a cleaning unit configured to remove a residual toner remaining on the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member. The electrophotographic photosensitive member includes a surface layer containing a compound represented by the formula (A), a binder resin, and silicon atom-containing particles. The silicon atom-containing particles are one of silica particles or silicone resin particles. The toner includes toner particles each containing a polyester resin having a polyethylene terephthalate segment.
