Apple Inc. ($AAPL) has reached a new all-time high, closing at this peak following a week of positive performance. The stock was reported to be less than $2 away from this milestone earlier in the week, with various updates indicating it was just 20 cents from the all-time highs before finally achieving this record. Additionally, Apple is currently engaged in discussions with JOYY, a Chinese social media and entertainment platform, regarding potential collaboration. This development comes as Apple continues to be one of the 65 stocks in the S&P 500 ($SPX) that closed higher for the week.
