Just three short months ago, Apple was on a high as the most valuable company in the world.
But since Apple hit a peak of $232.07 a share on October 3, giving it a market cap of $1.16 trillion, it has dropped to $142.19, wiping $450 billion from its value. Its market cap stood at $710.97 billion on Thursday, according to Macrotrends. Bloomberg pegs Apple's current market cap at $674.74 billion.
To put that into context, that $450 billion loss is significantly more than the value of Facebook, which is currently worth $383.76 billion, according to Macrotrends. It's also more than the GDP of countries including Iran, Austria, and Norway.
This chart shows the three-month decline and says it all:
The drop in valuation means Apple has lost its position as third most valuable company in the world to Alphabet, the parent company of Google.
In pre-market trading, Apple was up 1.61% to $144.48 at the time of publication.
