Still, investors are clearly finding their appetite for the company's stock. Apple is valued at just under $700 billion, the largest market cap for a publicly traded American company.

During much of 2016, there were serious concerns about whether Apple's iPhone, which contributes about two thirds of Apple's revenue, had saturated its market. And Apple's sales in China are still falling.

Apple split its stock 7-1 in 2014.
