[[166293]]

Apple's stock price hit a 52-week low of less than $90 on Thursday, allowing rival Google's parent company Alphabet to briefly surpass Apple in market value to become the most valuable company in the United States.

In Thursday morning trading, Apple's market value hovered below $492 billion, and the company's stock price hit a 52-week low of $89.47 per share. At the same time, Google's stock price rose all the way to $719.25 per share, pushing Alphabet's market value overtaking Apple. Although this surpassing lasted only a short time, foreigners generally predict that the "catch-up" between the two stock prices will change from occasional to regular.

In early 2015, Apple's net worth was as high as 700 billion U.S. dollars, which was twice that of the second-ranked ExxonMobil. Since then, Apple's stock price has been falling.

Hong Kong ranks first in the world in terms of connectivity

German market research firm GfK said that last year, Hong Kong and North America (including the United States, Canada and Mexico) became the most connected regions.

In the company's view, the degree of connectivity of a country or region's population has become a decisive factor in national development.

The report takes the average global network score in 2010 as the base, with a starting point of 100 points. Based on this calculation, the global network index in 2016 is 313 points, Hong Kong, China is 1486 points, North America is 1062 points, Western Europe is 805 points, South Korea is 506 points, Japan is 599 points, Taiwan, China is 620 points, and mainland China is 353 points.

Samsung regains top spot in US sales

Recently, with the strong sales of S7/S7 edge, Samsung has received good news one after another. Not only did the sales of Samsung S7/S7 edge exceed 10 million units in the first quarter, but it also achieved brilliant results in India, occupying 30% of the market share. Now Samsung has finally defeated its old rival Apple in the important market of the United States and regained the sales champion throne!

According to a report released by market research firm Counterpoint on May 3, Samsung's market share in the United States reached 28.8% in March, finally surpassing its rival Apple. Apple's market share dropped to 23%, ranking second. This is also the first time in the past 11 months that Samsung's market share in the United States has surpassed Apple.

The return to the top spot is entirely due to the strong sales of Samsung S7/S7 edge, which are much more popular than the previous generation Samsung S6 series. In addition, benefiting from the slowdown in Apple iPhone sales, LG also took the opportunity to grab 17.1% of the market share in the United States, ranking third.

Snapdragon 820 tops Q1 global smartphone performance ranking

In the global mobile phone performance rankings of the previous year, the iPhone 6S (Plus) was still in an absolute leading position in terms of performance. However, as mobile phones equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 were launched one after another, the performance rankings in Q1 2016 underwent a radical change.

In terms of mobile phone chip rankings, the performance of mobile phones is similar. Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor ranked first with a score of 136,000, which is nearly 4,000 points ahead of Apple A9. In addition, Samsung Exynos 8890 also performed very well, and its performance is close to that of Apple A9.
