According to Fast Technology on December 3, Apple's stock price hit a record high on December 2 local time, increasing by 0.8% to $239.3 per share intraday, with a total market value of $3.62 trillion.

Looking back at the past year, Apple's stock price has risen multiple times. In July this year, Apple closed up 0.65%, with a market value approaching $3.5 trillion, setting a closing record at the time and surpassing Microsoft.

The driving force behind the rise at that time was the adjustment of inventory targets for the iPhone 16 series and the technological innovations showcased at the Apple Developer Conference in 2024. At this year's conference, the company introduced a series of remarkable innovations, with the comprehensive enhancement of Siri's capabilities particularly eye-catching.

It is worth noting that Apple's AI only supports the iPhone 16 series and iPhone 15 Pro series. Analysts believe that this move is expected to drive older users to upgrade their devices.

Looking ahead, with the development of fields such as AI and machine learning, Apple faces many challenges. Apple's core AI strategy is to integrate AI capabilities into hardware using its devices, but the company has not yet reached its desired goals.
