Apple Shares Fall Nearly 10% Amid Supply Chain Shortages, Nvidia Set to Reclaim Top Market Value
Apple's shares dropped nearly 10% following a forecast revealing significant supply chain challenges due to increased demand for AI data center components. CEO Tim Cook highlighted severe shortages affecting iPhone and Mac production, with limited options to address them. This decline could reduce Apple's market value by nearly $500 billion, potentially allowing Nvidia to regain its position as the world's most valuable company. The drop marks Apple's worst trading day since March 2020 amid ongoing global chip shortages impacting the tech sector.
