Apple Surpasses Amazon for Most Talked About Tech Company This Week

This week, Apple (+14.3%) surpassed Amazon (-2.7%) for the top spot in HackerNoon’s free tech company data reports. Two weeks ago they were 4th and last week they were third.

Inc argues that the Macbook Pro has become “the biggest hit product Apple has had in a decade.” Meanwhile the EU has declared Apple Pay as anti-competitive “by limiting access to a standard technology used for contactless payments with mobile devices in stores (‘Near-Field Communication (NFC)' or ‘tap and go'), Apple restricts competition in the mobile wallets market on iOS.” So that’ll get the people talking!

Twitter was the highest riser of week, with Elon Musk leading the top 6 stories about Twitter around the web, and 3 of the top 6 stories on HackerNoon. That guy is everywhere! It’s like he owns one the internet’s primary communication tools ;-)

Here’s the top read for the next most talked about tech companies this week:
