Same as GAP, NFLX, AMZN and every other consumer related stock AAPL is not impervious to the headwinds. Consumer is tapped out! $6 a gallon gasoline here in CA. Inflation . Higher interest rates. Rising wages. Labor force shortages. Consumers being squeezed on every front. Something has to give! Prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, prior to $6 a gallon gasoline, higher mortgage rates, higher credit card rates. I don't believe this will crater like NFLX however it should see a 10-15% haircut in the days following ER and lowered guidance. How many consumers were lost in Russia? How did the China lockdowns affect this quarter? How can they guide higher? I say they cannot! Chart seems to be ready to give up the ghost as well
