iPhone X sales push Apple shares to record high

[Rewind]

The iPhone X went on sale today and hundreds of people had lined up ahead of time at each Apple store worldwide. Heavy iPhone sales, coupled with a better-than-expected holiday sales forecast, have driven Apple shares to a record high. Apple's market capitalization is now $890 billion. But, c'mon, $999 for a phone? And as much as $1400 US in certain countries such as Ireland, Japan and Italy? Is any phone worth that much?

Today -- that's November 3, 2017, for those of you keeping score at home -- Apple opened at $174 and reached a record high of $174.26 before closing at $172.50. That price represents a gain of 48.94% year-to-date and a gain of 58.49% over the past 365 days.

Financial analyst Neil Mawston observed, "Apple fans and critics complain about high iPhone prices every year but still go out and buy tens of millions of them." Indeed.
