Shares of Apple are once again approaching the magical price of $500, although this time it is on the downside as poor reception in China to the launch there of the Apple iPhone 5 has investor dumping the stock; in China, the lack of long lines for the latest version of Apple's iconic smartphone was a clear sign that something was different this time...

I guess iPhone popularity was a fad like that of New Kids on The Block:
"The right stuff
The right stuff
First time was a great time
Second time was a blast
Third time I fell in love
Now I hope it lasts"
I wonder where the lyrics go for the 4th time and beyond...

The reason why they didn't react as strongly is because they actually use their brain. The Chinese woman spoke of the truth when she said it wasn't revolutionary as Apple states and that the screen is mediocre at best.

You can blame APPLE for this - lack of innovation - patent trolling and suing. You reap what you sow, apple...enjoy!!

So a 40% drop in market cap from +700 level? How much does that work out in absolute numbers? Maybe 100 times what they want from Samsung for copying their black rectangle without roun der corners right? It just takes a "small prick" to puncture a "bloated ego" :D

''The iPhone 5 boosts no big innovations and is not very different from the iPhone 4s. I might wait for the next model." And from where the iphone 4s was very different from iphone 4 ? stupid china

The main difference is Siri - bigger change from 4 to 4s, then 4s to 5 - for me, if I was an iphone user, the 5 would be the way to go - more icons on screen - taller phone - LTE 4G connection, better camera - nothing innovative or different than on my android, but for an iphone user the 5 is king.

apple .. you proud if yourself too much .. you neglect the growth of android and its innovation and didnt make NEW .. that's your point of failure... if you wanna fight back, be sure to make amazing innovations that customers used to like.

that is one reason other is a lot of cheap android device with better specs...and most of my chinese friends are incline to the Galaxy Note 2 here with two sim cards...which is quite awesome...a dual sim smartphone.
