Maybe they can now finally hire some developers to work on their software.
They were the first trillion dollar company only three or so years ago. Maybe two? Something is broken.
No this is how exponential growth works. The first trillion is always the hardest to make! Much easier to make another trillion after that!
Not sure how to feel about that, honestly.
They deserve it for putting all the best engineers, designers, and developers under one roof and letting them do incredibly cool stuff.
But that’s not how they actually made that much money. They did it through labor exploitation in their supply chain and anti-consumer/monopolistic business practices.
What great design are they doing now? I feel they haven’t done anything good in a few years
My M4 Pro Mac Mini is pretty sweet maybe?
Not just sweet, but surprisingly for Apple, the M4 Mac mini is even decent value for money. If you want to buy a similar non-mac machine you can't do it for any less money. For ≈$1500, the comparable HP Z2 Mini comes with 16 GB of RAM and an 8 GB Nvidia T1000. For that price the Mac Mini comes with 24 GB of memory, shared but available to the GPU.
AirPods have some pretty fantastic UX, Vision Pro’s UX is miles ahead of anything else even at a higher price point.

Vid about Vision Pro by an AR/VR industry expert who has a specific interest in UXD: https://youtu.be/REo1ugX5GSI
Better but can’t do anything the others can sadly. No games.
They released the Vision Pro this year. They were working on the Apple car. They supposedly have a Google home like device coming, as well as a doorbell. Hopefully between those two things we will start to see more devices tuner function with Apple home.
They're putting the charge port on the underside of mice.
There aren't any conceivable design improvements left to make..
That logo art looks like cigarette butts.
Gross.
Shareholders: “How long until 5 trillion?”
What does it mean that a company is worth $4T? (and I'm not talking about market cap)
It means that above and beyond the sum of Apple's assets is a giant balloon of funny money backed by the full faith and credit of the greater idiot. Tesla has a big pustuous boil full of money too, and bitcoin is nothing else. I sure hope they don't pop.
Apple has over $100B in cash. They have patents, contracts, data centers, subscriptions, products, established market, consistent sales, etc. There would have to be a drastic change to the world for that to evaporate.
Sure, some of the value is speculation on how they will do in the future but not nearly to the extent of Tesla’s valuation. Apple has ~4x the revenue of Tesla and ~2.5x the market cap.
