- Apple's Annual Revenue Quadrupled From $108 Billion to $416 Billion During Tim Cook's 15 Years as CEO, With iPhone Sales Alone Jumping From $47 Billion to Nearly $210 Billion. What That Growth Says About Betting on Apple's Next Chapter Under John Ternus.
Tim Cook led Apple from August 2011, and over those 15 years annual revenue rose from $108 billion in fiscal 2011 to $416 billion in fiscal 2025. iPhone sales also climbed from roughly $47 billion to nearly $210 billion, while the services business generated $30.74 billion in fiscal third quarter 2026 with a gross margin above 75%. Cook also used strong cash flow to repurchase shares, which helped lift earnings per share. John Ternus became CEO on Sept. 1 facing a different challenge: Apple already has more than 2.5 billion active devices, but with revenue above $400 billion, growth is much harder to sustain. The article argues that Ternus's opportunity is to make Apple's large customer base more valuable rather than to repeat Cook's pace of growth.

- Apple's Market Value Grew From $350 Billion to $5 Trillion During Tim Cook's 15 Years as CEO. Here's What That Growth Curve Means for Apple's Next Chapter Under John Ternus.
Apple's market value is back above $5 trillion, and its stock gained more than 2,600% during Tim Cook's tenure as CEO. New CEO John Ternus has launched several products, including HomeView. As of Oct. 16, Apple stock was up 27% year to date, versus 13% for the S&P 500. The iPhone accounts for about half of quarterly sales; in fiscal third quarter 2026, total revenue rose 16% and iPhone sales rose 22%, the third straight quarter above 21%. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 39, and the author argues it is not an ideal time to buy, although Apple can provide long-term value for investors who hold for years.

- Flying Cars, Smart Homes, and Cracks in the AI Boom
This Motley Fool podcast, recorded Oct. 16, 2026, debates smart homes, flying cars, AI wearables and the recent sell-off in AI infrastructure stocks. The hosts view Apple's HomeView as a refined, incremental product that reinforces existing advantages rather than redefining the category, and note Apple is entering a home-device market already crowded with players like ADT and SimpliSafe. They compare Block's new restaurant device with Toast's established share and question whether Siri can justify a possible $19-a-month charge. The discussion also touches on a flying Tesla Roadster referenced for 2028.

- Canadian ‘crypto king’ case to go to jury as criminal trial winds down
Aiden Pleterski, a self-described “crypto king” in Canada, faces fraud charges over his alleged role in a digital asset Ponzi scheme, and the case will go to jury deliberations after closing arguments. Pleterski told the court he is innocent, saying he was forced to represent himself and that his innocence would otherwise have been proven. According to CBC, the jury will begin deliberating Thursday after receiving final instructions from Justice Shaun Nakatsuru. He is accused of defrauding about $30 million from social media followers between 2021 and 2022, was charged in 2024, and had waited more than two years for trial; a fraud conviction could bring up to 14 years in prison. Separately, five men, some reportedly victims of the scheme, were charged with kidnapping and torturing him in 2022, and one of them, Deren Akyeam-Pong, pleaded guilty to nine charges and awaits sentencing.
- Here are five key takeaways from the Fed rate decision and Warsh news conference
The Fed held its benchmark rate steady as widely expected, stressing a patient approach while it gathers more information on inflation's return to the 2 percent goal. Starting in 2027 the committee will still meet eight times, but one meeting will have no rate vote or post-meeting statement, and strategy meetings rise to two, leaving six chances to adjust rates outside emergency meetings. Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack both dissented; Cook had not dissented at all since joining in 2022, which made her vote a surprise. Chair Kevin Warsh said AI is one of several factors driving a strong expansion. The press conference was cut to half an hour, with reporters limited to one question each.
