Apple has once again joined the exclusive club of multi-trillion dollar companies. The market value of this technology giant crossed the 4 trillion dollar mark with the growth of its shares and the widespread acceptance of the iPhone 17 series, and became the third member of this club along with Nvidia and Microsoft. The achievement came as new US tariffs threatened the global supply chain.
Reports show that Apple shares have reached a record high of $269.2 and have grown by around 13% since the release of the iPhone 17 series. Now these three companies make up more than 14% of the Nasdaq 100 index. The main driver of this growth has been the strong demand for the iPhone 17 series.
According to the report of Counterpoint Research, iPhone sales in the first 10 days of release increased by 14% compared to last year, and the standard iPhone 17 model sold almost a third more than the iPhone 16. The new iPhone Air with a price of $999 has slightly surpassed the 16 Plus model and the operators have also strengthened the sale of the Pro and Pro Max models. Expert reviews have also been effective; The NotebookCheck site has praised the better performance of the battery and heat in the A19 Pro chip.
Apple’s supply chain management has also played an important role in this success. To counter tariffs imposed by Donald Trump in 2025 on imports from China, Apple has moved iPhone production to India and iPad assembly to Vietnam. Despite the $100 increase in the price of the iPhone 17 Pro, this company has been able to maintain its profit margin. Analysts at Evercore ISI have described this flexibility as “a critical factor in sustaining growth in a protectionist environment.”
Investors are now looking at Apple’s financial report on October 30 (November 8, 1404); A report that can confirm or stop a stock’s uptrend. Wedbush Securities predicts that Apple’s AI-based services could generate $10 billion in annual revenue by 2027. With more than 1.5 billion active iPhones, Apple’s ecosystem, from wearables to financial services, continues to be the brand’s biggest competitive advantage.
At $4 trillion, Apple still lags behind Nvidia’s AI-driven leap, but it’s a new milestone for the world’s most recognizable tech brand. The sustainability of this success depends on the future; Because even in the trillion dollar realm, expectations remain very high.
