Apple has hit many crucial milestones during its 42-year existence. Obvious examples include when it was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the 1984 launch of the Macintosh, and the arrivals of the iPod, iPhone and iPad in 2001, 2007 and 2010 respectively.
Apple has hit many crucial milestones during its 42-year existence. Obvious examples include when it was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the 1984 launch of the Macintosh, and the arrivals of the iPod, iPhone and iPad in 2001, 2007 and 2010 respectively. However, Apple has reached yet another crucial point by becoming the first US company to achieve a market capitalization of $1 trillion. What does this milestone really mean?
A STUNNING VALUATION MANY YEARS IN THE MAKING
Apple had long been forecast to reach a $1 trillion valuation. In November 2017, the company’s market cap was roughly $900 billion, leading Drexel Hamilton analyst Brian White to enthuse: “We were the first on Wall Street to project that Apple would reach a $1 trillion market cap as reflected by a price target”. Another analyst, Amit Daryanan of RBC Capital Markets, also anticipated Apple meeting this goal - and possibly even surpassing it - by the close of 2018.
In fact, analysts’ predictions of a $1 trillion valuation for Apple can be traced as far back as 2012. The company’s stock price has continued steadily growing since then, with the momentum scarcely interrupted this year. However, it wasn’t until Apple announced third-quarter earnings shattering expectations that the spark was set for Apple to finally reach the magic number. The stock price saw impressive growth of 5% during the 24 hours after the earnings reveal.

Instagram Makes Teen Accounts Private as Pressure Mounts on the App to Protect Children- Instagram is making teen accounts private by default as it tries to make the platform safer for children amid a growing backlash against how social media affects young people's lives.
Instagram is making teen accounts private by default as it tries to make the platform safer for children amid a growing backlash against how social media affects young people's lives. The teen accounts will be private by default. Private messages are restricted so teens can only receive them from people they follow or are already connected to. Sensitive content, such as videos of people fighting or those promoting cosmetic procedures, will be limited, Meta said. Teens will also get notifications if they are on Instagram for more than 60 minutes and a sleep mode will be enabled that turns off notifications and sends auto-replies to direct messages from 10 p.m. until 7 a.m.
