Apple soon to be worth more than $1tn, financial analysts predict

• Tech company worth three times more than second-place Google
• Market value attributed to strong sales in China and Apple Watch launch

Apple has been valued at more than $1tn - almost three times as much as Google, the US's second most valuable company.

Analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald on Monday said they thought Apple's shares - which are currently trading at about $127, valuing the company at $733bn - could soon be worth $180 each, which would value the iPhone maker at $1.05tn.
