　　While COVID-19 has been awful for many businesses, the tech giants are thriving--Microsoft, which reached a $1 trillion valuation in 2019, just saw a huge bump in stock prices after it became clear that they were considering buying TikTok.

　　Whether the release of Apple's next iPhone range, expected to launch later this year, will impact this figure remains to be seen. The company is currently locked in a legal battle with Fortnite developer Epic which could have wider ramifications for game development on Apple products.
