Original Reddit post

Author argues Apple's heavy buybacks and weak AI investment will cause it to underperform Microsoft and lose MAG7 status.

AAPL — AVOID Apple has prioritized buybacks over AI and CapEx, unlike Microsoft and Alphabet. This lack of investment in foundation models and on-device AI leaves Apple's AI offerings incompetent. As a result, the author expects AAPL to be surpassed by MSFT and excluded from MAG7.

I think that AAPL will be surpassed by MSFT sooner or later and exluded from MAG7 as its AI has proven its incompetence.
