Apple, once the world’s most valuable company, was the first public company to hit valuations of $1 trillion (August 2, 2018), $2 trillion (August 19, 2020), and $3 trillion (January 3, 2022), but it looks like the current world’s most valuable company, Nvidia, is poised to be the first to $4 trillion.

Top Three Market Caps: Nvidia – $3.853 trillion Microsoft – $3.697 trillion Apple – $3.064 trillion Martin Baccardax for Barron’s: ‎ Nvidia crossed the $1 trillion mark in June 2023, shortly after it effectively fired the starting gun on a race to benefit from demand linked to artificial intelligence with a revenue forecast for its powerful chips that obliterated Wall Street forecasts. It took another 262 days to reach $2 trillion, but only 96 days to get past $3 trillion, a level it reached on June 5, 2024. Now, $4 trillion is in sight. The AI chipmaker, in fact, could reach that threshold in just a few weeks, given the stock’s daily average gain of around 0.8% over the past month, based on data from FactSet. Gains that size would lift Nvidia’s current value past the $4 trillion mark in just five trading days. With a current market value of around $3.8 trillion, Nvidia’s weighting in the S&P 500 is about 6.9%, compared with about 6.7% for Microsoft and 5.4% for Apple. While some investors are concerned about Nvidia’s influence over the broader market, even that 6.9% underplays Nvidia’s valuation. If Nvidia were to top the $4 trillion mark, it would represent around 13% of the benchmark’s near $52 trillion in total market capitalization.  ‎ MacDailyNews Take: The gulf between those who could see the GenAI revolution coming and those who couldn’t grows wider with each passing day. ‎ Please help support MacDailyNews — and enjoy subscriber-only articles, comments, chat, and more — by subscribing to our Substack: macdailynews.substack.com.

Subscribe here for more Apple loses bid to dismiss U.S. DOJ smartphone monopoly case MacDailyNews Jun 30   READ IN APP   Apple’s A18-powered iPhone 16 On Monday, a judge ruled that Apple must face the U.S. Department of Justice’s lawsuit alleging the iPhone maker illegally monopolized the U.S. smartphone market. Jody Godoy for Reuters: ‎ U.S. District Judge Julien Neals in Newark, New Jersey, denied Apple’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit accusing the company of using restrictions on third-party app and device developers to keep users from switching to competitors and unlawfully dominate the market. The decision would allow the case to go forward in what could be a years-long fight for Apple against enforcers’ attempt to lower what they say are barriers to competition with Apple’s iPhone. The lawsuit filed in March 2024 focuses on Apple’s restrictions and fees on app developers, and technical roadblocks to third-party devices and services — such as smart watches, digital wallets and messaging services — that would compete with its own. ‎ MacDailyNews Take: According to StatCounter, as of May 2025, Apple’s iPhone held 58.65% of the U.S. smartphone market. When nearly every other smartphone sold in America is not an iPhone, Apple does not have a monopoly in the U.S. smartphone market. ‎ Please help support MacDailyNews — and enjoy subscriber-only articles, comments, chat, and more — by subscribing to our Substack: macdailynews.substack.com.

Edith Hancock for The Wall Street Journal: ‎ The company’s lawyers said on Monday that tools such as a “visited places” service that tracks and records where users have been won’t be rolled out in the EU when it releases its iOS 26 software update later this year. Apple has routinely criticized that law, saying it degrades the quality of its products, opens users up to privacy and security risks and makes rolling out new software features in Europe more complicated. “We’ve already had to make the decision to delay the release of products and features, we announced this month for our EU customers,” Kyle Andeer, Vice President, Apple Legal, told a workshop with EU officials and developers in Brussels. Users’ security could be compromised if the company is obliged to open up its ecosystem to competitors, Andeer said. Andeer also criticized the DMA more broadly, saying that changes the company has had to make to bring its products in line with the rules since last year “create real privacy, security, safety risks to our users.” ‎ MacDailyNews Take: Gee, that’s too bad. Also, marinate in it, EU. You shot yourselves in the foot, so expect some pain. The European Union arose because the Europeans couldn’t compete on their own with the rest of the world, so they each lined up to surrender their national sovereignty, unique cultures, and dignity for an undemocratic, opaque, wasteful, bloated, bureaucratic quasi-governmental blob – and, even with the EU’s thumbs all over the scale, they still can’t compete. — MacDailyNews, March 4, 2024 ‎ Please help support MacDailyNews — and enjoy subscriber-only articles, comments, chat, and more — by subscribing to our Substack: macdailynews.substack.com.
