June 30, 2025: AAPL pops on rumor that Apple is considering partnership of some sort with Perplexity and/or OpenAI. Rumors suggests both will "insert" into Siri. Would be blow to Google. Would also make the anti-monopoly case against Google/Apple moot.
Original Post
Reminder: two things --
- right now, much / most of the tech industry is cutting down on employees as AI upsets the apple cart (no pun intended)
- Apple appears to be headed in a different direction with regard to growing the company
- whatever area Apple moves into, it must be seen as "best-in-class"
- this all suggests a huge announcement from Apple before the end of this year
The story:
- Apple: new office space could bring in another 2,000 people
- Apple: this past week, it is being reported that Apple spent more than $500 million buying more office space in the Bay Area. Link here. I can think of only one reason Apple would need that much more office space. This is going to be incredibly interesting. Link here.
Apple (AAPL) cash on hand, link here:
Compare the $50 billion in cash that AAPL has with the $350 billion that Warren Buffett / BRK has:
BRK has nothing to do with this story, but I had to have some way to put Apple's $50 billion cash in perspective.
