TechCrunch primarily covers<\/span> the startup world, but we keep at least one eye on Big Tech at all times. And there\u2019s perhaps no story more interesting in the world of technology giants than a changing of the guard: Microsoft has stolen the \u201cmost valuable<\/a>\u201d crown from Apple and things are getting interesting.<\/p>\n

The changeover is not an idle one. Microsoft\u2019s tie-up with OpenAI and its rapid deployment of AI tools into its various software products has earned it favor with investors, who anticipate that it\u2019s going to manage to extract revenue, growth, and profits<\/a> from all the AI-related work. The release of Copilot Pro<\/a> is a good example of what Redmond is up to.<\/p>\n\n

At the same time, Apple is seeing its most critical market, smartphones, shrink as it runs into legal challenges around the world. The smartphone market shrank 3.2% last year<\/a> after declining by a massive 11.3%<\/a> in 2022, according to International Data Corporation (IDC). The good news for Apple, however, is that the iPhone once again became the top-selling smartphone last year.<\/p>\n

Still, you can\u2019t build toward long-term growth by leading a shrinking market.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Microsoft recently helped resolve a governance and leadership explosion at OpenAI<\/a>, allowing Redmond to retain near-majority ownership of the for-profit arm of the AI company. That means Microsoft is intent on bringing more AI goodies to its users.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
