How big is Apple, really?
Apple is the world's most valuable company, with a market capitalisation of over £2.4 trillion as of October 2026. This is larger than the entire annual economic output of countries like the UK or France. Its vast resources mean even a product launch with early issues, like the iPhone Duo, rarely impacts its overall financial strength significantly.
