Inc.‘s iPhone sales in China plummeted 24% in the first
six weeks of this year, according to independent research, raising

and increasing competition.

possible bubble, while Goldman‘s David Kostin
argues that Big Tech’s high valuations are justified by solid
fundamentals. The market continues to reach new highs, but critics
warn of a possible correction, while optimists see room for further
gains.
