Extended read
Apple has achieved a record valuation following two major catalysts. First, the company received approval from China's Cyberspace Administration to deploy AI services, a move that secures its competitive position in its most important international market. This coincides with a 24% YoY surge in iPhone sales in the region. Second, Apple is integrating PrismML technology to enable on-device AI processing. This 'Edge AI' strategy is expected to significantly reduce reliance on expensive cloud infrastructure, potentially boosting long-term services margins.
