Apple regains the title!
World’s most valuable company after stock surge
If I were a stock day trader — which I’m not — I’d buy options on Apple stock to expire the day after a major Apple event.
AAPL reliably dips after every Apple event — as it did after Monday’s WWDC24 keynote. Apple stock dropped 1.9% in Monday's session after Tim Cook and crew wrapped up the event.
But by Wednesday, the stock came ripping back. Just look at this chart posted to X (Twitter):
I’ve never seen the CEO of Apple complain about Tesla before.
Today’s market data speaks volumes.

I guess it took investors a couple of days to digest the news about Apple’s AI plans.
Like the rest of us, Wall Street likes what it sees.
Also in today’s newsletter:
I love the sleep tracking on my Apple Watch. It’s uncanny how the device knows exactly when you awoke and how much deep sleep you got. I often check it. In watchOS 11, sleep tracking will be automatic without first having to enable the Sleep Focus mode.
Alogic’s new Clarity 5K Touch display brings a touchscreen to your connected Mac.
JBL makes some great audio products, and these open-box wireless headphones with JBL Pure Bass cost just $25.
Pegboards for setup storage make for a fantastic way to stow your gear.

Apples Next-Gen Apple CarPlay UI looks awfully similar to Tesla’s UI.

This game plays flawlessly on Mac! With Game Porting Toolkit 2, you can now play new Windows games including Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart—all thanks to the AVX2 support in macOS Sequoia. What other games should I test? Tutorial here: youtu.be/JrkvFOiTph4

🤯 legit mind blown moment. Trying out the new #AppleVisionPro beta that lets you turn almost any photo into a 3D "spatial photo".
Impossible to convey over a phone screen, but seeing moments from the past like this is just incredibly immersive / emotional.
Pretty darn cool.

I am absolutely blown away by the new visionOS 2 feature that turns regular photos into spatial photos. It works even better than taking actual spatial photos and video using my iPhone 15 Pro Max. I expected wonky and inconsistent cutting out of subjects. There is none.
10/10!

One more thing ...
Woz and I are different in most ways, but there are some ways in which we're the same, and we're very close in those ways. We're sort of like two planets in their own orbits that every so often intersect. It wasn't just computers, either. Woz and I very much liked Bob Dylan's poetry, and we spent a lot of time thinking about a lot of that stuff. This was California. You could get LSD fresh made from Stanford. You could sleep on the beach at night with your girlfriend. California has a sense of experimentation and a sense of openness --openness to new possibilities. Besides Dylan, I was interested in Eastern mysticism, which hit the shores at about the same time. When I went to college at Reed, in Oregon, there was a constant flow of people stopping by, from Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert to Gary Snyder. There was a constant flow of intellectual questioning about the truth of life. That was a time when every college student in this country read Be Here Now and Diet for a Small Planet.
