Apple Surpasses Highest Stock Market Closing at $422 after iPhone 4S Launch

iPhone 4S might be criticized for not having Siri location support for many locations outside the United States, but it sure as heck been breaking a lot of records recently. Good records, in fact, the kinds that indicate how successful Apple’s newest handset is. With Siri (and some various improvements over the iPhone 4) at the heart of the newest device, the iPhone 4S broke sales records at Sprint and AT&T. It also caused Apple’s highest stock market closing in history.

Back in late September, Apple’s stocks reached a peaked with a closing price of $413 due the approaching keynote — the first one spearheaded by Apple CEO Tim Cook. Now, less than a month later (and without the iPhone 5 that was so incredibly anticipated), Apple reached a new high. After Sprint and AT&T released statements that the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S broke their one-day sales records during the day of the latter’s launch, stocks rose upward. Apple’s stocks closed that day at an impressive $422 — Apple’s highest close at the market ever. Looks like Siri is winning the hearts of many after all.
