iPhone 18 Pro demand takes Apple to a $5 trillion market valuation
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Apple’s market value briefly surpassed $5 trillion on July 28, 2026, driven by robust demand for the iPhone 18 Pro despite production concerns. The stock closed at $342.96, equating to $5.005 trillion. Tim Cook warned of availability issues tied to strong demand, not supply chain shortages. Online orders for the iPhone 18 Pro Max now show a three‑week shipping window, longer than usual but indicating Apple’s capacity to meet demand. The company’s valuation may stabilize as new models shift focus to base models and services.
