U.S. tech giant Apple (AAPL.US) unveiled a range of product updates today, including the iPhone 17, new AirPods, and the latest generation of its smartwatches. However, shares showed no outsized volatility, slipping around 0.5%. It appears that investors are cautious about Apple’s pricing strategy and the new features presented. If the market ultimately deems the announcements insufficient, we could see downward pressure toward the $220–225 zone, where the key exponential moving averages, EMA50 and EMA200, are located.
