The more likely explanation for the drop is that the forecast for next quarter ($49-$51 billion of revenue) was less than the median analyst estimate ($50.8 billion). The iPhone sales last quarter were in line with mostly heightened expectations.
The sales, now that the 6 has a proper screen will ease maybe, there is no big upgrade no matter what now as its alongside the other brands. Best phone on the market? No, its just another very good top end phone. They need to push the OS, the android catchups over recent times has been good, the proper screen has been good, features like Continuity are good. Keep that up, its less about the phone hardware these days.
I'm afraid that the double whammy of the Apple Watch flop and the Apple Music flop has taken its toll on the stock price.
Tim Cook is veritably sullying the name of Apple, which Steve Jobs did so well to cultivate. All his good work is become unravelled with Cook's political pandering and lack of focus or vision.

You have zero idea what Apple has in the pipeline. And neither does anyone else outside the Inner Circle. Sell your shares of you like. Apple value will be juuuuuust fine.
EDIT: Oh, and instead of listening to all these gut-wrenchingly hilarious predictions of nuclear bombs going off in Palo Alto, I'm going to listen to the likes of Warren Buffett and literally capitalize on the price drop by buy more shares.
And what were these estimates based on?Apple missed iphone sales estimates by quite a lot.
These financials are horrible. The iPhone is a flop. The AW is a flop. The iPad is a flop. Apple Music is a flop. Why Apple hasn't gone belly-up is beyond me.
I agree about lack of care. I am on another Apple forum, and some who got the watch, who are fanboys, don't rave, they justify. Some do rave. Maybe for some its a great Apple product but in real use, its not the be all and end all. Maybe for some its a great idea but becomes a new gadget thats not used much. Product looking for a solution? I feel its very niche, and the hype is overstated.
No one can say they are great or low, as there are no numbers and no base. So, we speculate why such a high profile product is kept under wraps, number wise.
Cool story bro. People have been saying that since the iPhone 3GS.
There is no "saturation" yet. Over half the world is still using mediocre cheap android phones and with the large screen size apple now offers, a large number of them are switching to iPhones.
They had already been moved into the Other category. And, at any rate, the prior comparisons are adjusted to reflect such accounting changes. So, e.g., the Q3 2014 number for Other includes iPods.
Hah. 1/2 hr after the tumble the price is back up. What a bunch of suckers that sold. My chart looks like 1 million idiots sold right after the close during the slide. The same crooks that scared them probably bought the shares when they were -8%. It went back up as fast as it went down.
It's still 7.4% down a minute ago, where are you getting your numbers?
This is why we will continue to see bond issues to capitalize domestic expansion, buildings, servers, and supply chain.conference call said:
Foreign funds can be leveraged to help fund some of these issues yet we do not hear a lot of foreign subsidiary finance deals publicized. One wonders if foreign subsidiaries have been hoarding AAPL stock. Hmmm.
How many times has the stock went down right after good news, or just randomly did this or that? It's the stock market, one of the biggest gambles out there. Tons of people have theories as to work out the meaning and predict everything, but the simple reality is it's still all a gamble and things still happen one way or another even if logic and common sense might imply something else.
People have smartened up over the years. They know that Apple releases new iPhones in September and at this point, many are holding off on their iPhone purchases.
Funny how people panic when Apple is still taking 92% of the profits in the smartphone industry.
