When Apple's current CEO eventually steps down, don't expect him to disappear entirely.

Tech never sits still, and Apple's latest announcements show how wide innovation can stretch. Five years ago, the company bet on its own chips with the M1 and big talk about revolutionary performance.

Apple, the company that has built its entire identity around doing everything in-house, is about to hand over the keys to Siri's future to its biggest competitor. That's right: Apple is preparing to launch a completely redesigned Siri in early 2026, and this time, it won't be powered by Apple's own technology alone; it will lean heavily on Google's Gemini AI model.

When you look at Apple's financial picture today, you see a masterclass in cash generation. It is also one of the trickier valuation puzzles in modern tech investing. The company just established all-time quarterly and annual revenue records for fiscal 2025, driven by double-digit services growth and continued iPhone strength.
