    This victory belongs to all of us — families who bought iCloud because the entry-level phone only came with 64GB of storage, developers paying 30 percent of their revenue in perpetuity, people who forget to cancel AppleTV+ in between seasons of Ted Lasso ... https://twitter.com/.…

    Apple Computer, Inc. was incorporated on this day in 1977. On our 45th corporate anniversary, we cracked three trillion dollars in market capitalization. Anniversaries are arbitrary; market cap is functionally meaningless; but it's breathtaking to look back on all we've done. htt…

    APPLE HAS OUTPERFORMED BITCOIN OVER THE LAST YEAR (And with much less volatility). Apple's performance is just astounding. It's much bigger than Bitcoin, and delivering higher returns, with smaller drawdowns, and smaller swings overall. https://www.bloomberg.com/... https://twitt…

    Good perspective. I'll add AirPods that we and our kids lose, iPhone batteries that die early, planned iOS software bloat for obsolescence, and MacBook keyboards that break or were defective in the first place. $APPL https://twitter.com/...

    Apple's market cap is 3x sales. 3x US 2021 e-commerce sales. https://twitter.com/...

    AAPL just hit $3 trillion market cap intraday which we view as another watershed event for Cupertino and Big Tech. Being the first company to join the $3 trillion club is a “flex the muscles moment” for Cook & Co. as the valuation re-rating continues into 2022 despite Fed jitters

    Apple's current valuation is roughly the GDP of Britain or India, or six JPMorgan Chases, the biggest US bank. It is “nearly 7% of the value of the S&P 500, breaking IBM's record of 6.4% in '84... it is about 3.3% of the value of all global stock markets”😬 https://www.nytimes.com…

    @CaseyNewton Don't forget everyone who willfully forgets that this is all built off the backs of indentured FoxConn workers.

    @CaseyNewton And please don't forget those of us who continue to subscribe to iTunes Match yearly because we're afraid we will somehow lose all of our music even though we also subscribe to Apple Music
  • @snazzyq Quinn Nelson on x
    And yet their P/E is so low relative to other tech companies. If Apple had the same P/E as Amazon, Apple would have a market cap of $6T. That said this is amazing and proves Apple is—as it has been for almost 20 years—one of the most consistently performant companies on Earth. ht…

    Idk it seems like people really love their AirPods? But also “market cap” is a meaningless symbol that has nothing to do with the company's health or revenue growth. Either way, Apple should be addressing labor issues overseas more, but the market doesn't reward that... https://t…

    3T is a big number. ps if Apple wants to acquire Facebook and then spin it under new leadership and real governance, I think I could be convinced at this point.
  • @jbarro Josh Barro on x
    What's astounding is that the performance is so similar. Apple is a massive enterprise that makes useful products and services for a huge market and has a high profit margin. Bitcoin is useful for illegal transactions and speculation. https://twitter.com/...

    Slowly. And then suddenly. So much for a ‘dying’ company! Evolution of Apple's market cap: $0 - $1 Trillion - 42 years $1 - $2 Trillion - 2 years $2 - $3 Trillion - 16 months https://www.cnbc.com/...
  • @joecarlsonshow Joseph Carlson on x
    Yep - Apple got to three trillion by ripping people off. That must be how they consistently have the highest satisfaction rating, customer loyalty, and brand value. This is what happens when you try to push politics into investing. https://twitter.com/...

    $3 trillion may be hard for you to visualize, so as an analogy, picture an individual stock worth $181, and then picture another 16.4 billion of those. https://twitter.com/...

    Combine Walmart, Disney, Netflix, Nike, Exxon Mobil, Coca-Cola, Comcast, Morgan Stanley, McDonald's, AT&T, Goldman Sachs, Boeing, IBM and Ford. Apple is still worth more. Yes, $AAPL is now worth $3 TRILLION DOLLARS. https://www.nytimes.com/...
