Apple: Going From $3 Trillion To $4 Trillion In One Year -- February 8, 2026

Locator: 49937AAPL.

AI prompt:

In my simplified way of looking at things, if Apple is a $4 trillion market cap company, I can break Apple into a $3 trillion market cap company: hardware, software, services. If so, how did Apple get to $4 trillion -- simply more of the same (hardware, software, services) or is there a fourth "division" as it were? AI could be a fourth division but I see AI as embedded in software and services, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe AI needs to be seen as a fourth "division" when trying to sort out how Apple's market cap is segmented?
