Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Apple remained the world\u2019s most valuable company on Monday, reaching a market capitalization of $3.3 trillion, 49 years after its founding.<\/p>\n

Despite recent volatility in technology stocks driven by trade policy uncertainty in the US, Apple\u2019s shares rose 28% in 2024.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s valuation, which stood at $2.6 trillion in March 2023, climbed to $3.3 trillion by Monday.<\/p>\n

Founded on April 1, 1976, in a California garage, Apple became one of the most influential companies globally, credited for popularizing user-friendly devices and reshaping consumer technology.<\/p>\n

Apple was launched by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne with the \u201cApple I\u201d computer and a vision of \u201ccreating user-friendly computers\u201d.<\/p>\n

In early 1977, the firm was incorporated as \u201cApple Computer\u201d.<\/p>\n

The release of the \u201cMacintosh\u201d in 1984 changed the personal computing landscape, offering a graphical user interface and mouse support. Apple\u2019s 2001 launch of the \u201ciPod\u201d disrupted the music industry and transformed how users accessed digital content.<\/p>\n

The 2007 release of the \u201ciPhone\u201d helped reshape the smartphone industry by offering a mobile device with computer-like capabilities.<\/p>\n

In 2007, Apple dropped \u201cComputer\u201d from its corporate name, reflecting its expansion into broader electronics. It followed in 2010 with the launch of the \u201ciPad\u201d, its first tablet.<\/p>\n

AI integration boosts Apple’s competitive edge<\/b><\/p>\n

Apple ramped up its artificial intelligence projects in June 2024, introducing \u201cApple Intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new system is reported to feature context-based notifications, AI-generated visual content and cross-application task automation.<\/p>\n

Amid growing competition with Microsoft and Nvidia, Apple reclaimed its top spot as the most valuable company after accelerating AI efforts.<\/p>\n

In September 2024, Apple unveiled the AI-enabled iPhone 16, which supports large-scale generative AI models.<\/p>\n

In February 2025, it released the iPhone 16e, a lower-cost model incorporating AI features.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s market share shrinks in China-led competition<\/b><\/p>\n

According to its most recent financial results, Apple\u2019s iPhone sales fell during the three months ending Dec. 28, 2024, though Mac and iPad sales grew.<\/p>\n

During that quarter, iPhone sales dropped 1% from the same period in 2023 to $69.1 billion, falling short of analyst expectations.<\/p>\n

A report from research firm IDC said Apple\u2019s global smartphone shipments fell 0.9% in 2024, even as global sales rose by 6.4%.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s global market share declined from 20.1% in 2023 to 18.7% in 2024.<\/p>\n

Apple retained its lead in the global smartphone market, though Chinese competitors expanded their share.<\/p>\n
