Apple hit a company milestone on Tuesday as its valuation reached $4 trillion for the first time. However, unlike previous trillion dollar milestones, Apple isn’t the first company to reach this record valuation.
Despite being the first company to hit $1 trillion in 2018, $2 trillion in 2020, and $3 trillion in 2022, Apple is third to reach $4 trillion after Nvidia and Microsoft.
Nvidia surpassed $4 trillion in July, as the AI explosion continues to rely on the company’s GPU hardware. Microsoft also hit $4 trillion for the first time in July before touching $4 trillion again today
For Apple’s part, it has a strong iPhone 17 hardware launch to thank for the timing of its $4 trillion milestone.

He’s the creator of two of the most influential and critically-acclaimed TV dramas of the 21st Century. But when NME speaks over Zoom to showrunner Vince Gilligan, he has a caveat about his new show. “Pluribus is not Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul,” he says, in that rich, Virginia accent of his. “Even though – and I know it’s confusing – it’s shot in Albuquerque. Even though it stars a very important actor from the Breaking Bad universe, Rhea Seehorn. It is not in any way, shape or form either of those shows.”
Displaying real-time search suggestions in the address bar is the default behavior for all major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Safari. Firefox is now taking this a step further, showing search results directly in the address bar for select queries instead of redirecting users to their default search provider’s website.
According to Mozilla, the new feature will only display inline search results when Firefox has ”high confidence” that they are relevant to the user’s query. In each case, only the top result will appear alongside traditional search suggestions. Firefox will also show sponsored results (ads) if they are deemed ”highly relevant.”
