Despite recent market volatility, Apple saw a 28% rise in its stock value in 2024, increasing its valuation from $2.6 trillion in March 2023 to $3.3 trillion.

In 2024, Apple ramped up its artificial intelligence efforts with the launch of “Apple Intelligence” and the AI-powered iPhone 16. Despite growing competition, Apple's focus on AI has helped it maintain its leadership position.

However, the company faced challenges in the smartphone market, with a slight decline in iPhone sales and a drop in global market share, from 20.1% in 2023 to 18.7% in 2024. The competition from Chinese companies continues to intensify.
