Apple Faces Headwinds
In contrast, Apple’s market capitalization has slowed down due to various factors. The company’s reliance on China has become a significant challenge, as Beijing’s policies have impacted its operations. Apple is now diversifying its manufacturing base to reduce its dependence on China. Additionally, recent patent disputes have led to temporary bans on Apple Watch models in the United States. These setbacks have hindered Apple’s growth and allowed Microsoft to seize the opportunity.
