They got it wrong on the labeling for China...
Instead of capitalizing on the number "8" for the China market.
They released an inferior product with that famous and lucky number.
Maybe the biggest technology marketing mistake since the "Osborne 2"

Ha, da Boyz are selling the event. Think bears should get ready soon. May be tomorrow, with another up gap.

160 is support.

It's all downhill for them... today was the last hurrah...
Smart Phone is now a commodity item that they are not addressing with these products today...
So what if they added another 100 gizmos that nobody will ever use...
I'll never pay $999 for any kind of smart phone...
Dr. Tsugio Makimoto envisioned these devices selling around $50 in a mature market, when he wrote the book Digital Nomad published 20 years ago in 1997...
What a visionary he was.

AAPL - THE STOCK THAT IS THE MARKET
From the link:
So today started out with the stock gaping up and immediately selling down, taking the Nasdaq with it. It then chop-choped back up to its high of the day as its event opened. There is a common saying the stock market that goes “buy the rumor, sell the news.” Well, the traders indeed sold the news, taking the stock down two points into the close..
For day traders that was just fine. AAPL’s news was worth 40% in its in-the-money puts from the open of its “event” to the close of the market, 80% at the greatest measure of its tank from its high on the news. If one shorted its “news” in the stock itself, it would have been worth two points to the close. Five-hundred shares and one could actually afford their over-priced phone. A thousand shares one could buy two and give the second one to your kid.
To your kid! A thousand-dollar phone! You must be kidding!
