FRIDAY, AUGUST 3 2018 By Anthony Ha

1. Tim Cook to Apple staff: $1TR in shareholder value isn't what drives us

As of yesterday, Apple became the first company to be worth more than $1 trillion. In a staff memo obtained by BuzzFeed News, CEO Tim Cook both acknowledged the milestone and suggested that employees not get too hung up on it.

"Financial returns are simply the result of Apple's innovation, putting our products and customers first, and always staying true to our values," Cook wrote.
