Leander Kahney has written several books about Apple, including The Cult of Mac and Inside Steve’s Brain — the bestselling biography of the enigmatic Apple CEO. He said Apple’s milestone this week of becoming the biggest tech business in the world is remarkable. “It’s probably the biggest turnaround in business,” he said. “What other company has been completely on the ropes and is now reinventing a whole industry? It’s definitely a Cinderella story.” The two longtime tech rivals swapped spots Wednesday when Apple’s shares rose as much as 2.8 per cent on the Nasdaq and Microsoft’s shares dropped by four per cent. Apple closed at a market value of about $222 billion US, compared to Microsoft’s $219 billion.
