Apple Inc on Monday became the first US company to hit $3 trillion in market capitalisation, thanks to investor confidence that the iPhone maker will keep launching best-selling products as it explores new markets such as automated cars and metaverse.

On the first day of trading in 2022, the company’s shares hit a record of $182.88 in mid-day trading.
