Cheers to those who held onto their Apple shares through hard times. The company’s stock reached a new high in Friday morning trading on growing investor expectations for the release of a new iPhone and possibly a new iPad. After a four-month lull, Apple’s stock had climbed 1 percent by early Friday afternoon, from Thursday’s close, just surpassing its previous $644 high on April 10.
