How did Apple become World’s First $1 trillion company?

Apple Inc, as many of us may already know, is an American technology company which designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and online services. Its headquarter is based in Cupertino, California, but it is a multinational company with numerous branches at various parts of the globe. It has been announced that Apple has officially become the first company to hit a worth of $1 trillion dollars. To get an idea of how large that is, it is better represented in numbers: $ 1,000,000,000,000.

This achievement is a first of its kind. We might as well reminisce on the path leading up to this goal:

World’s First $1 trillion company: Journey so Far

1976: It all began in April 1976. That’s when the company was founded by 3 men namely; Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne. In July of the same year, The Apple I went on sale.

2011 – 2012: Apple released the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. Software assistant, Siri, comes embedded in the devices. By August 2012, Apple’s rising stock price increased the company’s market capitalization to a world-record $624 billion.

2017: Apple announced the HomePod smart speaker.
