First off Apple is worth an estimated $107.1 billion so there's a long road to a trillion. I'm confused as to why Apple will be the first to 1 Trillion. Google is worth more at the moment and has a more diverse portfolio of products and services. The be more accurate Alphabet Googles parent company would be first to 1 trillion.

This is exactly what I was thinking..
Apple's brand is valued at $107 billion. Not the company itself. Google "Apple market cap". It is at almost $800 billion right now. Google (Alphabet) is at $650 billion. So it seems Apple is closer to achieving that goal.
But yes, Apple might not end up being the first trillion dollar company. Google and Amazon are in the race too.
If this source is right Apple is not the largest one based on market cap.

Counting in state-run companies, there are even more big players, e.g. Saudi Aramco.
But according to your link, Apple IS the largest based on market cap.
That's funny. When I looked yesterday, they had Apple listed on place 3. Could be a glitch though.
