Markets are digesting a clear general catalyst titled "KeyBanc: Apple iPhone 18 momentum may fade — Underweight, $250 PT after 2,046-user survey (higher prices, fewer promos, longer upgrades)". The headline can matter if it changes cash-flow or discount-rate expectations for AAPL. That is the near-term setup investors are pricing, not a settled regime change.
