This did not happen with Jobs, less and less iPhone is sold, it is the end of Apple. However, beyond the bar, different things usually happen. In this case we return to the announcement of every three months, and it is that Apple is once again the most valuable company in the world, again. Despite the predictions of "analysts", we find that Apple has grown again, perhaps not as much as it did on other occasions, but it continues to grow a few weeks after launching the iPhone 7, a device that will undoubtedly become a best-seller in the Christmas season, despite the stock problems it is suffering.
Apple has grown 5%, to 178,1 billion dollars. Meanwhile, Google remains behind, despite the fact that its following has been clearly higher, 11% to 133,2 billion dollars.
Apple has shown how to enhance the value of an ecosystem. Analysts agree that Apple products are superior to the competition. In fact, what makes Apple devices special is the integration between the different models of devices. The software, the hardware and the connection points between them make them superior, it is not only by design. The level of interoperability between devices justifies Apple's status and causes fewer problems than any other platform. Apple is a leader in cohesion for all intents and purposes.
However, this does not make Apple be present in the list of companies that have grown the most this year, a list that dominates Facebook with 48%, preceded by Amazon with 33% and LEGO with 22%. Google is present in the list, thanks to its 11%, although by the hair. Meanwhile, Apple suffers from what a former President of Spain would define as slow growth.
