What happened to the 10th year anniversary release of the iPhone 8? Will adding AR and a new display type spur sales?Related: MSFT stock fell despite reporting a very strong ER. ORCL, ADBE are dipping slightly.Agree or disagree: AAPL stock will go UP after ER. Agree: Stock will close ABOVE $149.50 30 days after the ER.Disagree: AAPL stock will fall.
