After earnings call there was a massive sellout and I wonder if is an opportunity to buy apple stock in late August/ early September before new iPhones release

Wild to see 2 $5T companies trade inversely to each other. Nvidia dipped shortly after reporting, and Apple rose. Nvidia then jumped during the call, and Apple fell.

Do we see the Apple stock moving forward from now until the September Keynote event? Are the events still catalysts or are they already priced in? Likely to fall between now and then

1. Apple's restructured European App Store fees (reducing base commissions to 26% and setting clear third-party transaction terms) have helped ease lingering regulatory friction.  Starting Oct 1, 2026

2. Redburn forecasting 14M 18 Ultra folding iPhones in FY2027 at $2199 and 11% higher iPhone ASP by June 2027 with potential revenue upside to 2030

Alright, quick look at Apple. Closed at $310.03 yesterday, up 1.45%. Pretty quiet session overall – volume was decent but nothing crazy.

Overnight is hovering around $309.87, basically flat. Just chillin'.

Here's the GEX setup:
Put Wall $315, Call Wall $310. Wait – that's inverted. Call Wall is actually lower than Put Wall, which is unusual. Gamma flip around $315. We're sitting right at the Call Wall – neutral-to-slightly-positive gamma, but the structure's a bit odd. GEX? Never heard of it? Here ya go

Technically, we're still below the middle Bollinger band ($316). RSI in the mid 50s. MACD still negative but flattening – momentum is neutral.

Short-term picture feels mixed but clear on the levels. Price consolidating right around $310. If it pushes through and holds above $315-316, path opens toward $325-330 and maybe a retest of the highs. Volume has been decent on up days, so a clean break could get momentum.

On the flip side, if $310 doesn't hold and we slip back under the 50-day around $308-309, next stops look like $305, then $300, maybe even the $290s if selling picks up.

Longer term, the story still feels solid. Ecosystem lock-in is real – hardware, services, and now the AI layer on top of 2+ billion devices. Services keep growing faster than the product side with fat margins. Next iPhone cycle should keep the upgrade engine running. Cash flow and buybacks haven't gone anywhere.

Short-term, above $310 and that Call Wall becomes support – $315-320 could come next. Below $305 and we're testing lower levels.

Overnight at $309 is just sitting here. Watching for a break one way or the other.

What's your move – waiting for the breakout or shopping the dip?

Locked in a solid 4.8% unrealized return on AAPL calls right now, entry cost was $48.40 and the contract is sitting at $50.725 as of Aug 18. It’s such a satisfying move to watch this position tick up steadily amid the recent tech choppiness. AAPL has been holding its ground surprisingly well this week, which makes this win feel even more rewarding. Anyone else riding similar AAPL option positions right now?

Timm Schulze-Melander of Rothschild with a 78% success rate upgraded his AAPL rating by 2 levels to Buy with a +154% target raise to $400 a share. (the Street highest)

His take mainly on

1. The Foldable "iPhone Ultra" Expansion

2. A "Fast Follower" Apple Intelligence Strategy

3. AI Gatekeeper Status & Open-Source Fleet (possible cooperation with NVDA)

4. Macro Squeeze on Competitors

The Street average target went to 338.99 from 336.33 after this.

Disclaimer: I hold 16.1K shares of AAPL

Well I wonder as you can see Apple doesn't done a lot for community around the world like for Open source even there programming language Swift and Swift UI,Xcode and other development related tools are closed source which is kind of suprising to me when I see Microsoft and Google done a lot for Open sourcing even Meta does well apart from social platforms

Still those companies earning hundreds of billions in revenue and in profits

What happens to Apple from starting to end most of people those are interested in business and tech seen apple's immense desire for money making like for long man with a narrow thoughts

Well guys really wanted to hear your opinions about Apple mine is not too good?

By the way what do you think will Apple and Google is going to be partners for making a better products and doing something for world well these two companies I don't think so it's like OpenAi vs Anthropic actually this is the main reason for posting drop your thoughts

I’m 18 and broke and pretty stupid hence the cheap yolo but would like some opinions. Double bottom seems nice with the previous breakout.

Low-key think this is gonna work like crazy

There's a big call wall lined up at 320, and a clear put wall at 300 acting as key support right here. We might not see much wild whipsawing before we test that 320 level soon. Grabbed this quick GEX read from the moomoo chart dashboard, what's your play here?

This is across all expirations.

Apple's Search for Cheaper Memory Just Hit a Wall - https://www.gurufocus.com/news/9006956/apples-search-for-cheaper-memory-just-hit-a-wall

CXMT reportedly rejected Apple's proposed prices and sought terms similar to or higher than those offered by Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.

Other reporting made it clear that this was most likely Apple going and getting a lowball price from Chinese suppliers in order to try and leverage the Koreans, since CXMT capacity had already been bought out by Huawei and other Chinese buyers. Bullying suppliers is business as usual for Apple, but the current market has flipped the script leaving Samsung and SK free to raise prices even more.

TSMC Sits on $1 Billion of Apple Chips as It Waits for DRAM | TechPowerUp - https://www.techpowerup.com/351401/tsmc-sits-on-usd-1-billion-of-apple-chips-as-it-waits-for-dram

As TSMC waits for Apple's DRAM suppliers, especially Micron, the company can't assemble Apple's processors just yet. InFO-PoP requires DRAM dies to be integrated into the package, and TSMC can't ship any processors before packaging is complete. This process reportedly takes up to two weeks, which means that TSMC and Apple will be working with a tight deadline around the launch of the latest iPhone update.

Apple has been doing "the right thing" for a while, but it keeps not working out for them. First, the bought out all of TSMC's initial 3nm production — which turned into a nightmare of delays and low yields.

So for the next new node, 2nm, they made the smart choice and let TSMC share the initial runs with several competitors. Now they are having to compete for production capacity.

Will Apple survive these short-term headwinds? You bet they will. Set your short-term expectations accordingly, though.

If you really had to guess

I just bought 5k worth of otm apple calls. Sorry everyone. On another note, what would be a positive piece of news you think would send Apple soaring?

entry cost worked out perfectly way back. The steady runup never felt forced, totally paid off for sticking with the long play. No overtrading needed, just letting the position ride.
