Описание: The Rise and Fall of Apple: Is the iPhone Losing America’s Love? Despite reaching a $4 trillion market cap by late 2025, Apple faces an existential crisis after briefly losing its status as the world's most valuable company to Nvidia.

You will learn how the DOJ's antitrust lawsuit and the forced adoption of RCS messaging are dismantling the "walled garden" that kept customers locked in for a decade.
