Apple's stock was valued at $615 billion while Microsoft's stock was valued at $271 billion. To find out how much more value Apple's stock had at its peak over Microsoft, we subtract Microsoft's stock value from Apple's stock value:

$615 billion - $271 billion = $344 billion

Apple's stock was valued at $344 billion more than Microsoft's stock at its peak.
