By Amanda Cooper July 29 (Reuters) - Shares in companies driving the AI boom have been under pressure for weeks.

Apple's decision to hold iPhone prices steady is set to power its strongest June-quarter sales growth in five years, but investors will want to know how long it can resist an increase. The consumer ‌electronics giant raised iPad and MacBook prices last month as it sought to offset cost increases from a shortage of ‌memory and storage chips caused by massive AI datacenter buildouts. Apple's decision paid off: iPhone shipments rose 3% and the company's market share climbed to nearly a fifth, estimated research firm Counterpoint.

Apple's market capitalization briefly surpassed $5 trillion for the first time on Tuesday, making it only the second company ever to achieve that milestone after ‌Nvidia.

The iPhone maker became the most valuable company ​in the world earlier this month, overtaking chip giant Nvidia - which had been at the top since June 2025 and was the first company ever to breach the $5 trillion threshold.

Apple on Tuesday launched a device leasing program in the U.S. through ‌payments firm Klarna, offering customers monthly plans for ‌iPhones, Macs, iPads and Apple Watches.

Customers can lease iPhones and Apple Watches for ‌12 or 24 ⁠months, while Macs and iPads are available under 24- or 36-month plans, Apple said.

PayPal doubled down on its turnaround plan on Tuesday, raising its 2026 profit forecast and outlining cost-saving steps, as it looks to convince investors that it is worth more than the $53 billion takeover offer ‌that analysts described as "low-ball".

The offer is a fraction of the roughly $360 billion valuation PayPal commanded as a pandemic-era ​darling in 2021.
