This announcement drove Apple\u2019s shares up by about 2% to $235.37, pushing its market value to roughly $3.6 trillion \u2013 making it the world&#8217;s highest. Morgan Stanley views this AI initiative as a potential game changer, possibly increasing iPhone and iPad shipments, despite current compatibility with only 8% of these devices. With Apple\u2019s strong installed base of 1.3 billion smartphones, nearly 500 million iPhone sales could be on the horizon over the next two years \u2013 a big jump from the 45.2 million units sold last quarter. However, Apple&#8217;s market share saw a slight decline from 16.6% to 15.8%, according to IDC data.<\/p>\n<p>Why should I care?<\/p>\n<p>For markets: Big bets on AI.<\/p>\n<p>Apple\u2019s AI ambition is stirring the market, with shares gaining nearly 20% this year, outperforming the S&amp;P 500 index. Morgan Stanley&#8217;s bullish stance, dubbing Apple a &#8216;top pick&#8217;, underscores strong market confidence. With a significant base of 1.3 billion smartphones and an anticipated 500 million iPhones to be sold over two years, Apple seems well-positioned for growth.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger picture: AI and the smartphone rebound.<\/p>\n<p>The global smartphone market, currently in a downturn, is eyeing a recovery led by AI-enabled devices. Analysts predict Samsung and Apple will lead this revival, leveraging AI to drive excitement and sales. Apple&#8217;s latest AI effort aligns with this trend, potentially setting the stage for broader industry innovation and competition.<\/p>\n<p>Retrieved from: <a href=\"https:\/\/finimize.com\/content\/morgan-stanley-ups-apples-price-target-thanks-to-ai-push\">https:\/\/finimize.com\/content\/morgan-stanley-ups-apples-price-target-thanks-to-ai-push<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":6871,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":""},"categories":[15,9],"tags":[32],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6891"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6891"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6891\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6895,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6891\/revisions\/6895"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
