The averages have been perilously falling all week, and Apple stock has been in a downtrend for some time now. I wouldn't necessarily blame it on the iPhone 7 launch.

It probably fell more because of the lack of a new design and no major new features that other phones don't have - Ie. a lackluster release, in a market where Apple is already selling less than they used to. And perhaps that people expect Apple to pay 21 billion $ to Ireland.

It'll be thread worthy if the major US indexes correct a portion of the bull market (which started in 2012) and AAPL takes a 50% haircut. But that remains to be seen.

Apple's unveiling hasn't gone down particularly well in terms of stocks and shareholders, the shambles of the preorder process will hardly help improve this either, the articles by Forbes is below:

Just look at historical trends for AAPL after announcements. Stock always hits a slump and recovers shortly after. Doesn't have anything to do with the specifics of the announcement. And as another poster noted, the market had a rough day yesterday making matters worse. No concern for any AAPL stockholder.

The entire market has dropped, there was nothing unexpected about iPhone 7 (except to those uninformed).

Just wait until the Intel vs Qualcomm scandal breaks and Apple has half of their US customers completely PO'd.. that will move the stock price.

The stock market on Friday had the biggest drop since Brexit. Apple's announcement of the iPhone 7 had nothing to do with the 5% drop.

As a matter of fact the market will be volatile up until the FOMC meeting on Sept 20th.
