Apple's $4.88T valuation surpassing Nvidia's $4.86T signals investors now favor AI monetization via services and installed base over infrastructure buildout. Nvidia holders face questions on capex cycle sustainability; Apple's ecosystem lock-in model gains credibility as the next phase of AI value capture.
Apple secured regulatory clearance from China's Cyberspace Administration to launch Apple Intelligence in the country, with Alibaba's Qwen model powering the service across all major Apple platforms.
