Apple Passed Nvidia to Become World's Most Valuable Company Again
Friday July 17, 2026 12:43 pm PDT by Joe Rossignol<br>Apple momentarily became the world's most valuable publicly traded company again today after its market valuation surpassed that of Nvidia, according to CNBC. However, the two companies have since traded places during today's session.
The price of Apple's stock has increased by around 20% since it closed at $275.15 on June 25, pushing the company's valuation to nearly $5 trillion. AAPL is now trading above the $332 mark on the intraday market.
Saudi Aramco technically remains the world's most valuable company, but it is often overlooked in this context because it is largely state-controlled.

Apple Closes Unlocked iPhone Loophole for T-Mobile and Verizon Financing<br>Wednesday July 15, 2026 3:20 pm PDT by Juli Clover<br>Carrier-financed iPhones purchased from Apple will soon be locked to the carrier, ending a workaround customers used to purchase an unlocked iPhone on a payment plan. Until the rule change, buying an iPhone from Apple and opting for financing through Verizon or T-Mobile meant you would get an iPhone not locked to either carrier's network.
