Listen In (AAPL WWDC)
Apple will have their annual WWDC today at 10am PST.
Below you will see an updated running list of all the announcements from the event.
Apple (AAPL 358.76, +9.04, +2.6%) is up more than 2.0%, pushing its market cap north of $1.5 trillion. Microsoft (MSFT 199.86, +4.71, +2.4%) is also up more than 2.0%, pushing its market cap north of $1.5 trillion. Amazon (AMZN 2704.06, +29.05, +1.1%), with a market cap of $1.4 trillion, is another key mover today. While not exactly the same, it's still mind boggling to think the market cap of those three companies alone surpasses that of Germany's GDP.
