Apple introduced a series of new products during the “It’s Glowtime” event held on September 9. Despite the announcement of the iPhone 16 series, Watch Series 10, and new AirPods models, recent reports suggest these products have not had the expected impact on investors. Here are the details…
Apple shares are falling
Commentary from the tech world indicates that the Apple event was not particularly exciting. In fact, as Apple CEO Tim Cook began introducing the new iPhone 16 series, reports suggest that Apple’s shares started to decline.
The iPhone 16 series is thought to lack significant innovations. The new smartphones come with a camera control button, higher RAM, new color options, and many AI features under Apple Intelligence. However, the fact that even entry-level models now have 120Hz displays while the iPhone 16 comes with only a 60Hz panel has been a point of criticism.
Of course, the drop during the presentation is not expected to have a long-term impact. We will see this unfold together. As of September 14, Apple’s market value stands at $3.382 trillion, making the tech giant the most valuable company in the world.
The world’s top 10 most valuable companies are ranked as follows:
| Rank | Company Name | Market Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Apple | $3.382 trillion |
| 2 | Microsoft | $3.200 trillion |
| 3 | NVIDIA | $2.921 trillion |
| 4 | Amazon | $1.957 trillion |
| 5 | Alphabet (Google) | $1.943 trillion |
| 6 | Saudi Aramco | $1.747 trillion |
| 7 | Meta Platforms (Facebook) | $1.327 trillion |
| 8 | Berkshire Hathaway | $964.11 billion |
| 9 | TSMC | $894.59 billion |
| 10 | Eli Lilly | $831.73 billion |
