    just amazing marketing ... I doubt market capitalization represents Apples value ... Apple does a great job marketing it's products ... One of which is it's common stock ... mighty risky investment though as the value will tank the moment an old sick man, Steve Jobs, kicks the bucket.

        Who cares... well probably the apple fanboys! With the huge profit, maybe SJ should start something similar to the Gates Foundation. However, the only apple I like is the fruit.

                ...geez, not every story about Apple is about iPhone, people who think that clearly have issues obtaining Apple products.

Apple is to strict on what you can and cant do on your iphone. I mean you bought the damn thing, shouldn't you have the right to do what you want with it? By the way my iphone was a gift, coz if it was my decision there is no way im getting an apple product.

                    this happened because apple products are overpriced and the profit that the company gets from each phone they sell is twice the original price.

                              It's gonna be really hard to explain this in detail, and GSMArena doesn't provide the real picure with this article (which I think I've read somewhere). However, ArsTechnica did showed a much more in-depth explanation of what's really happening. They concluded that Apple had only beaten Exxon by market cap, and Apple is below even Microsoft one other factors. Exxon is way up, as do most other oil companies.
