Surge in Microsoft's value attributed to successful AI investments, while Apple faces challenges from slowing sales and potential legal issues.

Microsoft has overtaken Apple to become the world's most valuable company, with a market capitalization of $2.89 trillion.
Microsoft's surge in value is attributed to its successful investment in artificial intelligence, including a $13 billion investment in OpenAI.
Apple's market value has been impacted by slowing iPhone sales, stock downgrades, and potential antitrust lawsuits.
