Apple’s stock reaches a record high following the unveiling of its AI software

Apple Intelligence

Apple’s shares reached a new record high of approximately $207 per share on Tuesday 11th June 2024, surpassing the previous record set in December.

At its annual developer conference on Monday 10th June 2024, the company launched its highly anticipated venture into AI. Apple is playing catch-up in the AI race and this announcement cheered its loyal followers.

Analysts predict that the introduction of new AI features will prompt consumers to update their devices, as these features are exclusive to the latest models.

This is the perfect business model – new products driven by new features, this time it’s ‘AI’ for Apple Intelligence. I wish I thought of it – ‘A‘ for Apple and ‘I‘ or Intelligence. Not just any intelligence, this is Apple intelligence.

So, now we have Apple AI – let’s see what Apple’s version of AI really is.
