"Assessing Apple's Recovery: Investors Wary as iPhone Sales Decline"

Apple investors are seeking signs of a turnaround after the stock's 12% drop this year, which has been the worst relative performance to the S&P 500 in over a decade. Short sellers have profited from the decline, but technical analysts believe the stock may be nearing a support level, potentially attracting dip-buyers. Despite concerns about regulatory scrutiny and growth outlook, Apple's strong business model and cash generation continue to offer upside potential for long-term investors, with some speculating a potential rotation back into Apple if other tech stocks stumble.
