$Apple(AAPL)$ The industry may have known about the rumors of stopping car production for a long time, so I am not particularly surprised by this. Let alone cars, Apple has been hesitant on Carplay for many years. Its implementation plan has no advantage over Hongmeng or even Meizu, and 2.0 is a niche within a niche. They are not good at in-depth software integration on hardware platforms that do not belong to them. Looking back now, maybe they never thought about doing it well from the beginning to the end. It is difficult to call car-machine OS a good business in the current domestic market. The only way to make money is through content payment and scene expansion.

Stock Performance: Apple ( $Apple(AAPL)$ ) stock has experienced a 14% decline from its all-time high (ATH) and an 11% decrease year-to-date. The underperformance, particularly in comparison to other Magnificent Seven stocks, can be attributed to several factors: Analysts downgraded Apple stock. Counterpoint Research reported a 24% year-on-year drop in iPhone sales, while Huawei's smartphone sales saw a notable 64% year-on-year increase in the first six weeks of 2024.

$Apple(AAPL)$  Goldman Sachs have removed AAPL from their convictions list and the magnificent seven. Insiders are negative selling more shares than they are buying in Apple In the last 100 trades there were 2.29 million shares bought and 3.43 million shares sold. The last trade was made 29 days ago by Wagner Susan who bough 1.85 thousand shares. In general the insiders are selling more stocks than they buy. In general it can be considered as a negative signal. With diminishing sales in iphone15 in China I have lost confidence in AAPL and wouldn't consider it a buy until it hits $146.

While details are scarce, Cook's comments suggest Apple is poised to unveil new generative AI features that could compete with models like OpenAI's GPT and Google's Bard. Behind the scenes, Apple's software engineering lead, Craig Federighi, has reportedly challenged teams to develop as many new AI features as possible for this year's operating system updates. The company usually unveils significant software updates, including iOS, at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June. Generative AI has become one of the

$Apple(AAPL)$ I don't think Apple dropping to $165 is very likely. The antitrust investigation by the U.S. Congress might cause some short-term turbulence, but I reckon they'll probably settle in the end. These antitrust inquiries aren't anything new for big tech companies, and the outcomes usually just involve someone losing or paying a fine.Apple is currently the most valuable company globally, and many investment firms and pension funds hold its stocks. Are they really going to let this investigation significantly impact Apple, or is it just a scare tactic? It's hard to say for sure right now.Also, the recent divergence between the semiconductor industry and Apple's stock performance is notable. Companies like Nvidia w

I simply dont understand why $Apple(AAPL)$ wants to venture into EV cars project when they are well known for iphones and macbook. To put it in simple layman term. If money is not a concern,most people will fly in style and saftey with $SINGAPORE AIRLINES LTD(C6L.SI)$.When we talk about TV,people will go for Sony.Next will be Sennheiser for headset.The list can go on and on. Since $Apple(AAPL)$ has conquered the world with their iphones and MacBook, they should continue to improve their features and those die hard fans will continue to be faithful to them.Like a marriage in heaven.

Then they released the 6 and 6 Plus, which became the best selling iPhone to date and launched the stock back into the stratosphere.Everyone is telling the same story today with Apple being behind the competition with AI.Doesnโ€™t take a world famous super investor to see that when Apple releases the iPhone AI later this year, itโ€™s going to be another game changing moment.[Shy][Shy][Shy]
