The last time Apple’s shares hit a record level, of US$100.30, was in September 2012, The Financial Times reported, the same month the company debuted its iPhone 5 smartphone.
The news site also noted that Apple stock often peaks in the lead-up to a new product launch, only to fall back once the new device goes on sale.
Apple is expected to release its next iPhone, the so-called iPhone 6, at an event on 9 September.
