- Apple’s Home Segment Is Down 14% Since 2022, and It Just Got a Robot HomeView Plan. Here’s What It Means for AAPL Stock
Citing Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the article says Apple is planning a higher-end HomeView with a roughly 9-inch screen on a motorized arm that turns 360 degrees, targeted for 2027 or 2028, with no price yet. The robot, code-named J595, has slipped about a year from its earliest planned date. Meanwhile, revenue in the Wearables, Home and Accessories segment fell 13.5% from a peak of $41.24 billion in fiscal 2022 to $35.69 billion in fiscal 2025, while R&D spending nearly doubled to $42.90 billion over the last 12 months. The article calculates that at a price near $1,000, each million units would add about 2.8% to segment revenue.
- iPhone Duo Preorders Sell Out Rapidly As Delivery Estimates Slip Into January
Apple's iPhone Duo, its first foldable phone and most expensive iPhone, opened for preorder on Friday, with launch-day pickup inventory selling out quickly and some online delivery estimates slipping into late January. Apple called demand 'nothing short of extraordinary' and said it will keep taking online orders. The Duo starts at $1,999 and passes $3,000 at the 2TB tier, and supply is expected to be tight; IDC expects Apple to ship about 7 million units this year, roughly 3% of its total, and sees shipments growing 70% next year, which could give Apple about 40% of the foldable market. Analysts say the high price could lift revenue, but it could also stretch out upgrade cycles. Apple's latest quarter brought in $109.4 billion in revenue, up 16%, but it guided September-quarter revenue growth to 9% to 11%, citing supply limits and memory costs.
- Apple Confirms October 28 ‘Pro And Tell’ Event — First Touchscreen MacBook Pro Expected
Apple has confirmed an Oct. 28 product event in Los Angeles, where it is expected to unveil its first touchscreen MacBook Pro, a major break from its longstanding approach of keeping touch mainly on the iPad. Bloomberg reports the event will also feature a low-end MacBook Pro with an M6 chip, a refreshed iMac and an upgraded iPad mini, with retail sales starting November 6. The launch follows the HomeView smart-home device, an updated Apple TV and the second-generation HomePod mini, while the $1,999 foldable iPhone Duo goes on sale October 23, with shipping estimates pushed into January 2027 after preorders opened. Analysts remain divided: KeyBanc's Brandon Nispel kept an 'Underweight' rating with a $250 target, while Melius's Ben Reitzes kept a 'Buy' rating with a $370 target. AAPL shares are up about 26% so far this year, versus about 17% for the QQQ ETF.
- Apple announces product launch event for Oct. 28. Analysts expect touchscreen laptop
Apple has sent invitations to media and analysts for a product launch event on October 28 in Los Angeles, with the tagline “Pro and tell” suggesting a focus on high-end Pro devices powered by its homegrown chips. Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes expects new Macs this fall, including a touchscreen notebook, and sees the launch cadence as a meaningful shift from two events a year under CEO John Ternus, who succeeded Tim Cook last month. It will be the third launch under Ternus, after the iPhone event (including the foldable Duo) and a New York event on smart home hubs. Macs made up about 10% of revenue last quarter, and Apple shares are up 26% this year, outperforming the S&P 500.

- Homebuilder Sentiment Drops To Lowest Level Since 2012
Homebuilder confidence has fallen to its lowest level since 2012, according to the latest NAHB and Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. Rising mortgage rates and higher energy and material costs have pushed builder sentiment to a 14-year low, keeping more buyers on the sidelines. Confidence edged up in March, with the headline index rising one point to 38, but it remains below the breakeven level of 50 that separates positive from negative conditions. Prospective buyers are waiting for lower rates and greater economic clarity, while builders face elevated land, labor and construction costs. NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz pointed to global events and energy prices as headwinds, though efforts to reduce regulatory burdens could help long-term housing supply.
- Inflation data shows high energy prices still contained , for now : economists
Canada's annual inflation rate rose to 3.1 per cent in September as gasoline prices jumped 27.8 per cent amid the Middle East war, but came in slightly below the 3.2 per cent economists had expected. Excluding gasoline, consumer prices rose 2.2 per cent, after 2.4 per cent in August. Core measures, CPI-trim at 1.8 per cent and CPI-median at 1.9 per cent, suggest underlying price pressures remain relatively contained and higher energy costs have yet to spread widely. Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem warned the bank was prepared to raise rates if necessary, while CIBC's Andrew Grantham said the data suggests policymakers have little rush to do so. Regional gaps were wide, with Ontario lowest at 2.5 per cent and all three Maritime provinces well above the national rate as heating oil prices surged.
- Sentiment improved , but new tariffs weigh on business outlook : BoC report
The Bank of Canada's business outlook survey found average business sentiment improved in the third quarter, though firms remained worried about rising costs and the war in the Middle East. About three-quarters of the interviews, however, took place before trade talks between Canada and the United States broke down at the end of August and Canada announced new counter-tariffs. Afterward, firms pointed to new U.S. tariffs on some goods and Canadian counter-tariffs as weighing on their outlooks, and the bank said tariffs are dampening sentiment, weakening export and investment prospects, and pushing up costs and prices. A separate consumer survey found long-term inflation expectations rose to match short-term ones, and consumers reported better financial health than last quarter, though high prices and economic uncertainty still weigh on them. The bank's next rate decision and monetary policy report are due Oct. 28.
