Apple still has more cash in the bank. It's also not the first time in the past decade that apple dropped from the top spot. Historically speaking they always got it back within the space of a quarter. Let's see how long Alphabet hangs on to it.

Apple simply do things and then tell their customers "you should like it cause we say so". Basically that's why Apple products are so hostile to users (small sealed batteries, UI from 2007, 16gb option, lack of choice, inability to operate without iTunes, etc)... There is a big part of society that would like objectively bad products as longs as it is marketed well to them.

                        A successful management brings good results for any company. But the fact that the truth behind the curtain with this so called stock increases Alphabet?
                        And if everything is not just a donut artificially?

                                  hahaha :) i alway laugh while reading articles like this, written most probably by some sort of child who doesn't know anything about business, stocks etc...... the real information is "Alphabet is set to become (not IS) the most valuable company". :) which in itself, is fine be me because they doing a good job but a lot might change in the following months ;)

                                    Everything is transient. Who relies solely on advertising, commercials, etc. will have long life. Everything has a cost in this world.

                                        Life showed us that there is nothing that is not built on the job, will not resist at the time. Within an hour you can be at the top of the Beatitudes, and in two hours you can be in bankruptcy. And then ?
