1 Brilliant Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock That Will Be Worth More Than Apple by 2030
Key Points AWS and advertising drive Amazon's growth. Apple hasn't released an innovative product or feature in some time. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Apple is the world's third-largest company by a wide margin, with a $1 trillion gap between it and fourth-place Alphabet . However, I think several companies are slated to pass Apple in market share over the next five years, including fifth-place Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), which is valued at around $2.4 trillion compared to Apple's $3.5 trillion. That's a wide gap to make up in five years, but looking at Amazon's growth tailwinds versus Apple's makes it fairly clear that Amazon is the much better stock pick. Amazon has two business units driving profit growth Apple's business is fairly straightforward; it's the leading consumer tech brand and generates significant revenue selling iPhones and other products in the Apple ecosystem. Amazon is a bit more complex, as it has the online store that most investors are familiar with, but that's not the best reason to invest in it. Although its online stores division posted the best quarter in a long time (revenue rose 11% year over year), the real stars of the show are Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its advertising services division. AWS is Amazon's cloud computing platform, and it is seeing strong demand fueled by the migration of traditional workloads to the cloud, as well as by new artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. AWS grew revenue by 17% year over year in Q2, which is strong growth considering it generated nearly $31 billion in revenue during the quarter. However, AWS's primary competitors (Microsoft's Azure and Google Cloud) posted stronger growth rates in their corresponding quarters, so investors are worried about AWS's long-term ability to perform in this sector despite its being the market-share leader. AWS will likely continue to underperform its peers due to its size, but 17% growth is nothing to sneer at. AWS is also a large part of Amazon's profit picture. In Q2, it accounted for 53% of Amazon's operating profits despite accounting for only 18% of revenue. Analysts still expect cloud computing to grow rapidly over the next few years, and if Amazon surpasses Apple in market cap, this will be a primary reason why. Advertising services is Amazon's fastest-growing segment, with revenue rising 23% year over year, an acceleration over previous quarters' growth rate. Amazon has one of the most lucrative places to advertise on the internet, as consumers are already coming to their platform to make purchases. Paying to place a product at the top of an Amazon search almost guarantees increased sales. This is worth a lot to its advertising clients and will be a key part of Amazon's investment thesis over the next few years. Amazon's margins are rising Amazon isn't a revenue growth story; it's a profit growth story. The rise of high-margin businesses like AWS and advertising services has helped Amazon boost its profit margins over the past few years. AMZN Profit Margin data by YCharts With its two high-margin business segments growing faster than other parts of its business, Amazon will naturally have elevated profit growth rates. In Q2, Amazon's operating income rose 31% year over year. Contrast that with Apple, whose Q3 FY 2025 (ending June 28) operating income increased by 11%. Amazon's profit growth rate is much faster. Over five years, a 30% growth rate will increase its operating income by 271% while an 11% growth rate increases operating income by only 69%. That would be enough to drive Amazon's profits higher than Apple's, propelling it to surpass it in size along the way. Amazon is an excellent stock pick for the next five years and a no-brainer buy at today's prices. Should you invest $1,000 in Amazon right now?

Blink's subscription model is affordable, but is it worth it?
Blink is the younger, more-affordable cousin of Ring. Both brands fall under the Amazon umbrella, and both work well (although I find that Ring is slightly faster in terms of loading times). Both brands have something else in common, too: to access the best features, you'll need a subscription. Blink offers three different tiers. With no subscription, you'll receive notifications whenever something moves within range of the camera and see an extended live view of up to five minutes. While the official site doesn't list the number of devices that includes, all of your connected Blink cameras and other devices will send motion alerts. Recommended Videos The next level is the Basic plan. That's $3 per month for a single device and includes cloud storage for up to 60 days, motion detection, person and vehicle detection, and an extended live view of up to 90 minutes. It also includes motion event recording, live view recording, instant video access, photo capture, and an auto-update thumbnail. The highest tier is called Plus. It's $10 per month for an unlimited number of devices and the best value by far. It includes everything the other plans have, with the addition of custom snooze notifications, a 10% discount off future Blink devices, extended warranty coverage, and the Blink Moments feature that stitches together multiple events into a seamless video. With those features in mind, you have to ask: is a Blink subscription really worth it? I'll be honest: I hate subscription services. If I buy a device, I want to be able to use all of its features without paying an arbitrary monthly sum. However, given the affordability of Blink devices in relation to other products on the market and just how many features the subscription opens up, the smart devices aren't worth their cost unless you pay for the subscription. I subscribe to the Plus tier. With a video doorbell and multiple cameras around the exterior of my home, it's a more economical choice than paying per device. And $10 per month (closer to $8 with the annual sub) is on-par with what other brands offer, although Blink does lack feature parity with more advanced options like Ring. Is $100 per year worth the cost? I paid next to nothing for my Blink devices. For full transparency, several devices were sent my way for review, but I have expanded the system with additional purchases. The kicker? I bought most of them during Prime Day or Black Friday sales. Blink has a tendency to drop its prices to an almost absurd degree. While I do have a few Ring products, I can usually get two or three Blink cameras for the price of a single Ring. The subscription cost feels like a small amount to pay given how well the system has worked. It lets me keep an eye on the house when I'm traveling, and it also lets my wife and me check in on our pets. The ability to view up to 90 minutes of footage at a time is a win, particularly when I suspect multiple events might be connected. For example, I had silenced my phone, only to check it later and see more than 30 motion alerts. That meant that either my neighbors were having a party and the camera was being set off by motion at the fringes of the yard, or our garden gnomes had decided to rise up and form an army. Thankfully, it was the former (although the garden gnome army would be fun to explain). Some kids were playing in the cul-de-sac and chased a ball into the yard, and that explained the alerts. That's another perk of the Plus tier: it allows you to snooze notifications for a set amount of time. When my lawn service comes to cut the grass, I tend to shut off notifications; otherwise, my phone will practically vibrate itself off the desk as the mower moves back and forth in its field of view. The downside: no professional monitoring Blink is strictly a DIY system. You can keep an eye on your property no matter where you are, but no one will intervene to alert the authorities if necessary. Ring offers that service, but it costs an extra $10 per month on top of their mid-tier plan, which means you're paying at least $20 (and more than likely $25) for professional protection. That's the trade-off. While $10 per month gives you access to a host of different features, it doesn't provide you with what is arguably the most useful one of all. I always suggest professional monitoring whenever possible, if only for the peace of mind — but if you don't have access to a device that offers that, then a monthly fee of $10 is a small price to pay, especially as it makes it significantly easier for you to keep an eye on what's happening around your home on your own. Pairing that subscription with some of Blink's optional accessories, like the solar panel or the floodlight attachment, gives you a home security system for a fraction of the cost of other names in the business.

The iPhone 17 Pro's Pixel-like camera bar could house a new camera with a much longer zoom
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The latest iPhone 17 Pro rumors point to Apple's premium flagship handset getting a new telephoto camera with 8x optical zoom, up from 5x zoom on the iPhone 16 Pro. What's more, this new camera is tipped to make use of moving components that could allow for continuous optical zoom between an as-yet unknown range of focal lengths. That's rarely-seen technology, usually reserved for phones that are specifically designed for photography like the Sony Xperia 1 VI, and the idea of such niche tech coming to one of the world's most popular phones is properly exciting. So why aren't I jumping for joy? On paper, I should be. Most flagship phones – and some particularly well-specced mid-range handsets like the Oppo Reno 13 Pro – come with a telephoto camera, offering optical zoom through the addition of a specialized lens and sensor. However, in order to create a continuous zoom between different lenses, phones typically use digital zoom to close the distance between their various lenses. For example, a phone with a main camera at 1x zoom and a telephoto camera at 3x optical zoom will digitally zoom the main camera to achieve 2x zoom. If those aforementioned iPhone 17 Pro rumors hold true, the new telephoto camera will add even more reach and flexibility to what is already one of the best camera phones. It could also explain the new camera housing that many rumors and leaks predict the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max to launch with. We previously thought that this design change was a purely aesthetic choice, but this Pixel-style camera bar could, in fact, house a periscope lens or other tech to support the new zoom camera. With that all said, I can't help but wonder whether I'd actually use this (admittedly very cool) new feature. Once the excitement around the iPhone 17 Pro's possible 8x zoom camera settles, will it still be worth using? Three times is the charm I'm a maximalist when it comes to tech – I like to have the best specs possible, and for a long time, I found myself pining after the 5x or even 10x telephoto lenses fitted to some of the best camera phones. I specifically remember feeling amazed when the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra launched with a 10x optical zoom camera. But to be honest, it's rare that I find myself zooming in that much – apparently I'm not the only one, either, as Samsung scaled down its long-range zoom camera from 10x to 5x with the release of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. As I mentioned before, unless you're zooming into or beyond the 10x mark, a 10x zoom camera will be of no use. If you ask me, the sweet spot is actually a 3x telephoto camera, like the one the iPhone 15 Pro had before it was upped to 5x on the iPhone 16 Pro. It's not that I don't see the point in longer zoom lenses. In fact, last year, I wrote that the Oppo Find X8 Pro's 6x zoom camera had opened up new possibilities when it comes to mobile photography. It's just that 3x strikes a better balance between reach and everyday usefulness; a 3x zoom lens brings details forward without feeling cramped, and the smaller lens distortion is ideal for more natural portraits. I'm not the only 3x zoom fan in the TechRadar office, either – last year, Phones Editor Axel Metz wrote that the iPhone 15 Pro's 3x telephoto camera was his go-to for natural and more professional-looking social media pics, like those below. Image 1 of 5 Image 2 of 5 Image 3 of 5 Image 4 of 5 Image 5 of 5 An 8x zoom camera – or even better, a lens that continuously zooms from, say, 5x to 8x – would be a win for certain users: concertgoers, nature photographers, maybe even portrait photographers who don't mind standing pretty far away. But without an intermediate telephoto lens to bridge the long gap between 1x and 8x, for me, this won't be a selling point. Even the Galaxy S21 Ultra switched to a 3x camera before you got to the full 10x zoom, and while the iPhone's digital zoom is excellent, there'd surely be a noticeable loss of quality at zoom levels that don't activate the new camera. I'd be reluctant to give up my 3x lens without some kind of software magic to get around that. We're expecting the iPhone 17 series to be revealed in September 2025, so we hopefully won't have to wait long to see what Apple's cooking up. What do you think about this rumor? Would an 8x telephoto camera be a boost to the iPhone, or has tech gone too far? Let us know in the comments below. You might also like Is this the iPhone 17 Pro?
