Apple is a $3 trillion company — again

In May, CEO Tim Cook reported an all-time high for its installed base of active devices, as well as “an all-time record in services and a March quarter record for iPhone.” That was despite other divisions like Mac and iPad showing results that were down from the previous year, and since then, the company has launched a new 15-inch version of the MacBook Air laptop.

Analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities has suggested it could hit a $4 trillion cap by 2025. In a note, he said 25 percent of the install base hadn’t upgraded phones in more than four years, which could lead to “a mini super cycle iPhone 15” when the new phones launch later this year.

While its AR platform and Vision Pro AR headset are still a long way from having any similar kind of impact, its potential also plays into the prediction, as he wrote “a new app store that will be built around this new form factor with the Apple developer moat a massive advantage in this tech battle for developers.”
