Apple vs. Meta Platforms: Which "Magnificent Seven" Giant Has the Stronger Artificial Intelligence (AI) Growth Engine?
Apple and Meta Platforms stand out among the Magnificent Seven as laggards in the AI race. Apple is viewed as holding back on AI investment, leaving it with little to show; Meta has poured hundreds of billions into AI computing and offers a free-to-use AI model, yet struggles to monetize results. Investors weigh whether Apple’s AI products and subscription could succeed or whether Meta’s spending will finally turn into cash, with Apple still trading at a premium and Meta at far cheaper valuation reflecting weak returns.
