Apple just became the first $700 billion company

Apple just became the world's first $700 billion company. 
On Tuesday, shares of Apple closed at $122.02, a split-adjusted all-time high for the iPhone maker.
At this price, the company's market capitalization is about $705 billion, making it the first company to close a trading session with a market cap above $700 billion. 
At this level, Apple is more than twice the size of Microsoft. 
This comes two weeks after Apple reported a monster fourth quarter in which it sold more than 74 million iPhones and brought in a record $18 billion in profit.
