Customers are your most valuable assets. 

On Thursday, August 2, at 11:48 a.m., history was made in a few seconds. Apple became the first publicly traded American company to cross $1 trillion market value when their stock (APPL) passed $207.04 a share. A global infatuation with owning a family of sleek, silver-apple-emblemed electronic devices has surged the Silicon Valley company into this historic moment—particularly, from sales of the iPhone 8 and X in Asia (Japan and China) as well as Apple services (Apple Music and App Store). Beating out corporate giants like Google and Microsoft (both more than $800 billion net worth) and even Amazon (close to $900 billion net worth), one can’t help but be curious about what new product will have Apple loyalists lined around corners in rain, sleet, or sweltering heat. Perhaps an Apple Streaming service? With their long-established reputation for simple, yet innovative design, ease of use, and top-notch customer relations, there’s no stopping Apple from reaching whatever milestone they have their eyes on next!
