Apple's Software Hints New Devices Amid Stock Decline After EarningsPreviousNext

Recent software updates from Apple reveal references to unreleased devices, including a foldable iPhone and AirPods equipped with cameras, suggesting new product features ahead of the company's September event. Separately, Apple's stock has declined 10% since late July following disappointing earnings, as investors shift focus toward other tech companies leading in artificial intelligence investments. Apple’s strategy of partnering for AI services contrasts with competitors’ heavy infrastructure spending, influencing its recent market performance.
