APPLE: FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS+PRICE ACTION & NEXT TARGET|LONG🔔All of the headlines are true. The iPhone is indeed losing market share - in some ways. While some of this loss can be attributed to unpredictable failures caused by the pandemic, some cannot. After all, COVID-19 has made life equally difficult for all smartphone manufacturers. But some of them still found a way to poach potential buyers of other brands. Perhaps most notably, the market share of low-cost phones increased significantly last quarter, implying that numerous customers are no longer willing to buy devices with a four-figure price tag. We're even seeing indirect indications that this shift is happening in North America, Apple's most important market. The thing is, it doesn't matter when you examine the rest of the data. The data provider is IDC, a technology market research company that publishes the estimated number of smartphones released by each major manufacturer in any given quarter. According to IDC, Apple sold 44.2 million iPhones in the three months ending in June, a 17.8 percent increase over last year's coronavirus-covered second quarter. That's not bad, even if the numbers come with a pandemic disclaimer. This growth is certainly ahead of Samsung's 9.3% year-over-year increase in shipments, even though Samsung shipped a much larger number of devices -- 59 million. However, it is curious. Lesser-known smartphones such as OPPO and Vivo increased their shipments by 37% and 33.7% (respectively) last quarter, while Xiaomi increased its shipments by 86.6% year-over-year, ranking second with 53.1 million devices. An isolated incident? Maybe, maybe not. Apple's 14.1% share last quarter is better than its 13.5% share in the second quarter of last year and much better than its 10.2% share in the second quarter of 2019. Indeed, the average market share of 16.3% over the past four quarters is higher than Apple's typical 14% share, driven by an especially triumphant fourth quarter that saw the company's smartphone market share rise to 23%. However, the company was unable to hold on to much of the success caused by pandemic circumstances, such as an incredible 23.3% in the fourth quarter and 16% in the first. It would also be shortsighted to ignore the fact that much of the iPhone's recent success in the market is a reflection of Huawei's absence and Samsung's failure to connect with customers, as well as Apple's marketing power. These two names are usually the main threats to Apple in the high-end phone market, but now they are virtually powerless. And even so, Apple doesn't manage to knock them out of business. According to GlobalStats, after peaking at 28.8 percent in April 2020, the number of actively used iPhones worldwide has dropped to 26.9 percent. At the end of 2018, 56.8 percent of smartphone owners in North America were using iPhones, but after another decline in the first half of this year, they now account for 53.6 percent of actively used smartphones. Clearly, consumers are finding other smartphone options rather than gravitating toward the most recognizable name in the business. However, Apple shareholders should not panic just yet. This dynamic underscores the danger of a one-sided view of anything: there's always more. Part of the story is that while Apple is losing market share, that doesn't mean it's selling fewer smartphones. The company is simply getting a smaller share of the current overall market growth after holding on to a significant portion of its share when the market itself began to shrink in 2018. Apple still sold an average of 57.8 million iPhones in each of the past four quarters, registering its highest year-over-year sales rate since 2015, when the iPhone 6 redefined what a smart mobile device could be. The overall smartphone market is still much smaller than it was at the peak of 2017. And lest you think that the last four quarters are strong just because sales fell in the first two quarters of 2020, that's not true. Despite the effects of the pandemic, Apple managed to sell more smartphones in the first and second quarters of 2020 than in the first two quarters of 2019. Another reason that shrinking market share is not an existential threat for Apple is that the company does an incredible job of extracting revenue from iPhone owners once they get into the iOS ecosystem. Sensor Tower's data put things in perspective. The app market research company estimates that in 2020, the average U.S. iPhone owner will spend $138 on apps and other digital content from their device. That figure marks five consecutive years of spending growth from 2015 when the annual average was just $33. That's even more impressive given that, according to Sensor Tower, Apple's App Store generated about twice as much revenue worldwide in 2020 as Alphabet's Google Play, even though there are almost three times as many users of Alphabet's Android operating system as iOS users. And more divergence is expected on that front. The iPhone 12 Pro may start at $1,000 apiece and go up quickly, but the new iPhone SE draws new consumers to iOS, starting at a more affordable price of $400 apiece. Should Apple investors be watching the iPhone market share trend? Sure. It may not suggest much right now, but things are changing. There will come a time when an alternative to the iPhone will enthrall enough consumers to start reducing not only Apple's smartphone share but also its overall revenue. If you're looking for a reason not to buy stock in the world's largest and most profitable company right now, narrowing smartphone market share is not.

Sunday Prep 7/25 - $AAPL LONGHere’s one of the behemoths. And trading at ATHs. Can they surprise the street enough to continue higher? Hard to say. But I can definitely say that if they disappoint and get smoked, we may get that pullback in the market that we were discussing earlier. This doesn’t make me bearish, not at all. In fact, I actually would love a pullback to some key levels on this name to reset the market and also give some possibly great entries on such a great stock. Would want to see the 50d before considering starting in long, and possibly even the 200d.

AppleAs you can see in the daily chart, After testing 145.09 the trend has been changed and a bearish one has been started however this downtrend is not strong enough and the Buyers might be still in power. In my point of view since the retracement is about 61.8% 2 different harmonic pattern might occur 1st scenario: A Gartley pattern might happen So Apple will experience a rise in price and it increases to 139.10 which is the first TP. 2nd scenario: A AB=CD pattern might happen therefore Apple will move up at about 142.59 which is the second TP . However a Crab pattern is likely to happen in order for that the price must pass the previous top which is 145.09. In any cases, the SL is about 116.31 Please write your ideas in the comment

AAPL Head&Shoulder Update - Wave analysisAn update on the APPL head&shoulder ...I had to dignify and justify the previous analysis with market principles ,which of course is the powerful Elliot wave principle ,and currently we're on the corrective down-turn . All fibnacci levels have been respected in the course of the 5 wave structure thus substantiating the expected bearish move, however the prevailing sentiment for this stock is ''Long term buy'' ,but considering the fundamental facets of Apple Inc is that having them produce a self-driving car and not showing progress in their ascending iPhone models will somewhat result in a decline on revenue and balance sheet and the bearish pressure will accentuate and hopefully prevail. Note : This information should not regarded as financial advice ,rather an opinion of my own based on my perspective and financial market knowledge!

AAPL : AAPLE INC | Fundamental Analysis | Alternative ScenarioAccording to some investors, Apple may have lost its investment attractiveness. Since it has been about 10 years since Steve Jobs stepped down as CEO, one would assume that the company is past its best days. With a market value of more than $2 trillion, it's much harder to grow at a rate that will make new investors millionaires through modest investments. But is that reason enough to refuse to buy stock of this company? Apple's management now uses its accumulated vast resources to work and apply its expertise to continue producing attractive products, managing new services, and developing new industries, which still gives investors plenty of reasons to buy Apple stock and never sell. Of course, the death of Steve Jobs in October 2011 left the company somewhat of a void. In the years that followed, the company's new products seemed to make it more of a competitor than a leader in the technology industry. Nevertheless, the development of new products did not stop. The Apple Watch was introduced in 2015 and has evolved into an innovative product that can do incredible things, such as collect health data from users, track heart rate and blood oxygen levels, and even automatically inform others when a user loses consciousness. These advances bring innovation to health care and have the potential to save lives. Apple has greatly expanded its services business. It includes the App Store and offerings such as iCloud, Apple Music, Apple Pay, Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, Apple News, and Apple Card. The success of the services segment pushed it into Apple's second-largest revenue category, accounting for 16% of revenue in the first half of fiscal 2021. Apple's multi-year offerings also continue to be innovative. The iPhone remains the main revenue driver, accounting for 56% of the company's revenue in the first two quarters of fiscal 2021. Although the company did not release its first 5G smartphone, the release of the iPhone 12 helped Apple launch the 5G industry. One of the beneficiaries, in addition to Apple, is Qualcomm, which makes the chipset that powers the latest iPhone. Qualcomm's growth began after Apple and Qualcomm settled their legal disputes in April 2019, and there was another jump after Apple released the iPhone 12 in October last year. The negative economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic forced millions of people to work from home and supported Apple in yet another way, sparking renewed interest in some of Apple's older products. In the first six months of fiscal 2021, iPad sales were up 57% from a year ago, and Mac sales were up 42% in that period. The Mac also benefited from product development as it switched from Intel processors to Apple's own M1 chip. Clearly, Apple remains a vigorous and competitive company. This resilience has bolstered the company's financial performance. In the first six months of fiscal 2021, net sales were $201 billion, up 34 percent from the first six months of the previous fiscal year. During that time, net income rose 56% to $52.4 billion, as Apple limited its growth in operating expenses (they rose only 12%). This ability to manage expenses well, even on such a large scale and in the face of greater negative economic impact, allowed Apple to generate about $57 billion in free cash flow during these six months. Because of this free cash flow, Apple maintains one of the most robust balance sheets in the world. While the company's total debt of $121.6 billion may seem significant, the company borrowed money not because it had to, but because the likely profits exceeded the cost of borrowing. With liquidity at $204.3 billion right now, even if Apple had to pay off all of its debt today, it would have about $83 billion in cash and cash equivalents left over. Thus, the company is well-positioned to overcome unforeseen difficulties, strengthen its business lines or create new businesses. Thanks to this, Apple's share price has risen about 75% in the past 12 months. Apple's earnings are now generating a P/E ratio of just under 30. It's a significant increase for a company that for most of the 2010s has been unable to raise its P/E ratio above 20. Nevertheless, its valuation is now quite comparable to that of other tech giants such as Microsoft and Google's parent company, Alphabet. Of course, a market value of $2.15 trillion might scare off some growth-oriented investors. For a new investor to double their money in Apple stock, the market value must rise to $4.3 trillion. That's quite a challenge when the market value of not a single company has yet reached $3 trillion. Despite its scale, Apple continues to produce innovative products, and the demand for these products continues to generate enormous profits and cash flows for Apple. With its enormous market capital, it will be much harder for this technology company to create as many millionaires in the future as it has over the past decade. Nevertheless, both new and longtime Apple supporters can expect Apple's growth story to continue at some level for years to come.

Apple share price analysis - The decision has been made!Hello dear readers, The correction in Apple ended with a clear positive week. The cross support of the golden pocket and trend line was tested hard, but held. Now the price is showing the appropriate reaction and can clearly pull away. The medium-term outlook is therefore positive! The price target of the current movement can be derived on the one hand from the Fibonacci expansion and on the other hand from the trend channel and thus lies at approx. 158 points. As long as the trend channel is not broken downwards, the chart remains positive. Only a break of the trend channel would put the long scenario in danger.

AAPL - Apple inc.When the Crypto market is consolidating and you can't find any main coin interesting enough to long or short, Take some time off and study the charts of some powerful companies. That's what I do and I've never regretted this. For example right here we've got AAPL as a very good example. right now it's already got rejected by a resistance, fell and got support and consolidating to go back up. I'd buy some shares because it looks powerful. and also, It's never a bad choice to buy AAPL, no matter what. (Chart speaks for itself) Good Luck 🎲 Tell me your ideas. Like and Share 🗣✅
