Apple tops the market

iPhone- and iPad-maker tops Exxon as most valuable company on the market

Apple Inc. is currently the world’s most valuable publicly traded company.

Exxon’s shares have fallen by 17 per cent since July 22, while Apple’s have increased by 41 per cent, due to both falling oil prices and the surging popularity of Apple’s iPhone and iPad.
