Apple surpasses $5 trillion valuation, faces supply concerns
Apple briefly surpassed a $5 trillion market valuation, becoming the second company to reach this milestone. This surge was driven by strong product demand and a strategic decision to limit investment in the AI spending race, amidst a broader tech sell-off. However, the company also warned of potential future supply constraints for its Mac, iPhone, and iPad products, leading to a subsequent share price drop. Apple reported record revenue of $109.4 billion for the June quarter, with iPhone sales increasing by 21.7% to $54.25 billion.
