Apple’s Stock Price Falls Amid Sluggish iPhone 16 Pre-Sales
Apple’s new iPhone 16 series, released on the 13th, is seeing slower-than-expected sales, causing its stock price to plummet.

On the 16th (local time), among the big tech stocks on the New York Stock Exchange, Apple recorded the largest decline, falling 2.73%. Investment banks such as Bank of America (BOA) and JP Morgan also pointed out that demand for the iPhone 16 may decrease compared to last year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 228.3 points (0.55%) from the previous trading day to 41,622.08, and the S&P 500 Index also rose 7.07 points (0.13%) to 5,633.09. However, the Nasdaq fell 91.85 points (0.52%) to close at 17,592.13.
