And here's a fun fact you will not believe. I had never owned an Apple product in my life either. My first smartphone was an HTC One when they first came out, ca. 2012 to 2013. A fine old phone, until it's battery expanded so much that it split in two a few years later. So in 2017, I got my very first Apple product, a new iPhone 6 on sale because the iPhone 8 had just come out. $300! Not bad for a brand new iPhone! My friend had an iPhone 6 and it seemed to be working well for the years he had it. I figured, ok, top quality. Well, guess what. A month ago, I notice my iPhone 6 is expanding. Yep, bad battery. Bastards! HATE Apple. HATE!
How about this fact - with Apple first to a $2T market cap, that leaves it very close to the total capitalization of the .... Russell 2000. As well as representing 10% of total U.S. GDP
