    All 3 of those are smaller than Apple. The only 2 companies with bigger market caps than Apple are Nvidia and Microsoft.

      Market cap isn’t everything.

      Meta by itself has a bigger cultural impact globally

        That’s not how companies are measured against each other though. How are you even quantifying the cultural impact? You could have said many companies are bigger than Apple because they have a bigger physical footprint, bigger customer base, bigger area of operation, larger mass of product or many other things but the fact is when we compare the “size” of companies, we are referring to their market cap.
