The largest source of revenue is the iPhone, and the company released its iPhone 16 last month. Other Apple products include Mac computers and iPad tablets, Apple Music, the Apple Watch, and other wearable devices. Android mobile devices indeed have a more significant smartphone market share internationally. The DOJ filed suit in March of this year, allegedly violating antitrust laws by monopolizing the smartphone market. At 31.5 times forward earnings estimates, Apple is four turns richer than the 27.5 5-year average.

☆ The commercial real estate recovery is on, but the rebound may be uneven
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-18 | by ( Paulina Likos | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Howard Schnapp | Newsday | Getty ImagesThe tide could be turning for commercial real estate. That could give interest rate-sensitive sectors such as commercial real estate long-awaited positive momentum. While lower rates are not a "magic bullet," the easing of the Fed's monetary policy "lays the groundwork for a commercial real estate recovery," analysts wrote in a follow-up report in late September. More than $40 billion in transactions occurred during the second quarter, a 13.9% jump quarter over quarter, but still 9.4% lower year over year, according to real estate data intelligence firm Altus Group. While these dynamics could set the stage for a broader recovery, with some major subsectors such as commercial retail real estate picking up in tandem, the path forward will likely be uneven.

New York CNN —The bitcoin bulls and meme stock traders are fired up about the prospect of another Donald Trump White House. At the same time, shares of Trump Media were bouncing back from Tuesday’s mysterious 10% drop and resuming their meme-stock-esque tendency to rise without any fundamental reason to do so. What do the two assets, a digital currency and a media stock, have in common? Crypto traders are amped because of the Republican nominee’s apparent 180 on the asset class he once dismissed as a scam. Bottom line: Both bitcoin and Trump Media could become even more volatile over the next few weeks as more traders pile in.

At least three major hyperscalers have already begun using the company's tools in backend networks, and Malik views Cisco's recent $9 billion 2027 hyperscaler AI opportunity forecast as potentially understated.
