Benjamin Levicek Apple's market value has exceeded 2 trillion, making it the first company ever
In recent months, we can see a steady rise in the value of apple shares. Today, the Californian giant also managed to cross a rather significant milestone. Today, the value of one share managed to rise for a while to 468,09 dollars, i.e. less than 10 crowns. Of course, this increase was also reflected in the market value, which is over 300 trillion dollars, which after conversion is about 2 trillion crowns. With this event, Apple becomes the first company that was able to overcome the aforementioned limit.
Interestingly, it was only two months ago that we informed you about crossing the previous milestone. At that time, the market value of the apple company was 1,5 trillion dollars, and again it was the first company in history that could boast of this. The value of one stock alone has more than doubled in the last five months. But Apple will soon complete the earlier plan, when it will practically replace one stock with four. This move will push the price of one share to $100, and of course there will be four times as many in total circulation. This will only decrease the value of the mentioned one share - however, the market value will remain the same.
Made in India iPhones will arrive in the middle of next year
We have already informed you several times in our magazine that Apple is going to move at least part of its production from China to other countries. Of course, the ongoing trade war between the United States and China also contributes to this. Apple phones should therefore be manufactured in India at the same time. According to the latest reports from the Business Standard magazine, Apple is planning an exclusive launch of the iPhone 12 next year, which will boast the Made in India label.

Wistron, which is a partner of the Cupertino company, has reportedly already started test production of the upcoming iPhones. In addition, the same company is going to employ up to in India ten thousand people. This may partly confirm the initial plans. Apple phone manufacturing in India has been going on for quite some time now. Nevertheless, we would find a minor change here. This would be the first case in Apple's history when the flagship model is produced outside of China. So far, in India, they have specialized only in the production of older models, or for example the iPhone SE.
Korean developers are joining Epic Games. They filed a petition against Apple and Google
Over the past few days we have witnessed a huge controversy. The game giant Epic Games, which is behind the game Fortnite, for example, has launched what appears to be a sophisticated campaign against Google and Apple. They don't like that these two companies take a 30% commission from every purchase made on their platform. In addition, according to the contract terms themselves, developers must use the payment gateway of the given platform, which means that they simply have no way to avoid the mentioned commission. For example, the Swedish company Spotify has already stood by the side of Epic Games. But that's not all.
Now the Korean alliance, which brings together small developers and start-ups, is coming with an official petition. She requests an examination of the relevant platforms. The already described payment system and the violation of economic competition, when others literally have no chance, are a thorn in their side. At first glance, it may seem that Apple is really running on shoes. In addition, there is currently a larger lawsuit underway with the tech giants being investigated for monopolistic behavior. Neither Apple nor Google have yet responded to the petition by the Korean developers.
