Apple has pushed past arch-rival Microsoft to become the world's biggest technology company.
Changes in the share price values of the two in Wednesday's choppy trading left the total value of Apple at $222bn (£154bn).
Microsoft is now valued by investors at $219bn.
However, Microsoft still enjoys higher profits than Apple. Its most recent annual net profit was $14.6bn (£10bn), compared with $5.7bn for Apple.
Microsoft also reported bigger full-year revenues of $58.4bn, with Apple on $36.5bn.
Apple's shares closed Wednesday trading down 0.4% at $244.11, while Microsoft fell by 4% to $25.01.

The title of the news is partially misleading as Microsoft is still having a great profit and a lot greater sale.

Apple is far more innovative which is why they are worth more. Microsoft sells only a handful of products while Apple is constantly adding to their lineup which gives them a wider aspect target market. Apple has already gotten their stocks a lot higher than Microsoft which means it is only a matter of time before they replace Microsoft.

Microsoft's issue is that they only focus on the software and let others who don't have first hand development experience handle their hardware.

One thing to look at is this:

Apple, I think, is going to phase out Adobe and Flash which will usher them to the top with new technology that is more cutting edge. It something to keep an eye on.
