    WWDC25: Apple's AI Party Was Too Little, Too Late — And Investors Left Early

    At Apple’s much-hyped WWDC 2025 keynote, the tech giant attempted to dazzle the world with its shiny new toy: “Apple Intelligence.” But investors weren’t exactly clapping. Instead, they were clicking the sell button. Apple shares dipped 1.5% following the event — a clear sign that the market didn’t get the AI breakthrough it was hoping for.

    The event, held on June 9, was supposed to mark Apple’s grand leap into the artificial intelligence arms race. It saw the announcement of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe, and other software updates from the Cupertino giant. However, apart from a UI overhaul called 'Liquid Glass', there is absolutely nothing worth talking about, especially for owners of the iPhone, Apple's top-selling product.

    Instead, it raised eyebrows and blood pressure on Wall Street. Apple unveiled smarter Siri features, app automation, and a suite of AI tools meant to compete with rivals like Google and Microsoft. But it felt more like a “me too” than a “next big thing.”

    $750 Billion Later, Apple Slides to Third Place

    Let’s talk numbers — the kind that make shareholders sweat. Apple opened the day at $204.34. As the keynote unfolded, so did investor enthusiasm. By afternoon, the stock had dropped to $201.18, shaving off nearly $2.50 per share. That’s a 1.23% fall in a single session, and the latest addition to a much gloomier 2025 trend.

    Year-to-date, Apple stock has plummeted between 16% and 20%. That translates to nearly $750 billion in market value — evaporated. For context, that’s like losing a Meta and a Netflix, combined. The once-untouchable titan has now slipped to third place globally, trailing behind Microsoft ($3.44 trillion) and Nvidia ($3.31 trillion), while Apple's own market cap hovers around $3.28 trillion.

    Let that sink in: a chipmaker now beats Apple at its own game. The irony would be hilarious if it weren’t so expensive.

    Wall Street Wanted Fireworks — Got a Sparkler

    This WWDC was no typical dev fest — it was the moment Apple was expected to reassert its dominance in AI. Instead, it felt like a polite press conference. Traders were reportedly pricing in a 3% to 4% swing based on the announcements. With a 1.5% drop now in the books, the rest of that swing might depend on whether reviews of “Apple Intelligence” turn the tide.

    But for now, the market’s message is loud and clear: Apple’s AI play looked more like catch-up than breakthrough. While rivals have been racing ahead with flashy generative AI tools, Apple appears to be cautiously jogging — possibly while asking Siri for directions.

    Even die-hard fans might agree: for a company that prides itself on “one more thing,” this time, that thing felt more like “just one thing.”

    TL;DR: Investors tuned in for a revolution. What they got was a revised Siri and a $750 billion drop in value. Welcome to the age of Apple... playing it safe.
