On Tuesday, June 11, Apple saw a stock increase of over 7%, setting a new record and reclaiming the title of the world's most valuable company from Microsoft. This price surge occurred just one day after Apple introduced new AI features. On Tuesday, Apple's stock closed at $207.15, up 7.3%. With this increase, Apple's market value reached $3.18 trillion, slightly below Microsoft's $3.22 trillion and just above Nvidia's $2.97 trillion. This stock increase came as Apple had lagged behind in the stock market in 2024 due to declining iPhone sales and concerns that the company was falling behind in the emerging AI technology race against other tech giants. At its annual developer event on Monday, June 10, Apple unveiled an improved version of its virtual assistant 'Siri' and several other AI features in its applications, which will be released with the latest operating systems for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Analysts believe these new features could attract a wave of new buyers for Apple. Elon Musk, owner of 'SpaceX', 'Tesla', and the social media platform X, threatened on the same day as the Apple event that he would boycott Apple computers if AI was integrated into the 'iOS' operating system, considering AI's presence in this OS a 'violation of user privacy.'
