China locked down an area where a major Foxconn factory is on Sunday/Monday. Reuters reported that it may decrease IPhone production by 30% for the month, quite possibly the most important month out of the year.
Maybe big money took a few days of investigations to see how bad the lockdowns really were and are now liquidating?

There was also a [paywall] Bloomberg story I saw earlier in the week, that may have had some more info, if you would rather read their reporting (and want to go look for it).

EXCLUSIVE Output of Apple iPhones at major China plant could fall 30% amid COVID curbs -source
Production of Apple Inc's iPhones could slump by as much as 30% at one of the world's biggest factories next month due to tightening COVID-19 curbs in China, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said on Monday.

I went from an 11 Pro to a 14 Pro and there’s zero difference. It even seems to run hotter.

I went from a 10XS Max (basically a 10 Pro Max in today's terms) to a 14 Pro Max and there is a very noticeable difference to me. Screen refresh rate while scrolling is smooth as butter. The battery seems to last quite a bit longer with my avg daily use. The camera in dark environments is absolutely astonishingly better.
For clarification on the demand: The 14 Pros are in good demand. The regular 14 is being scaled down due to lack of demand. Which, shouldnt come as a surprise as it carries over the same CPU from last gen and very little changes. Apple wanted to upsell to the Pro phones. How that pans out is yet to be determined.

I may be jinxing it, but things seem to be going green today. Maybe we've actually bounced this time?
Conspiracy types say the market is going to be manipulated up just in time for election day followed by an immediate crash. I don't think I buy that theory since it seems too difficult to manipulate the market that directly even if you're Janet Powell, but who knows?

There's really not enough time for it to go up any significant amount. Still down over 3% just in the last 30 days.
You'd probably need a 10% move up to look okay (brings you to the levels in August). But even then it's still going to be down a shit ton YTD.

If powel wanted to do that he could have just hiked by his .75 and then come out mega dovish in the comments and markets would have soared but he didn’t do that.

I see this as a sign of the problems hitting the entire mobile phone market. Until there's another big leap forward in technology there will be more and more people realizing that their old phone can keep on truckin. With at most needing a $50 visit to a cel phone shop to slap in a new battery after a few years.
They have been riding the train of having updated software features masquerading as new phone features for a while and that's drying up. And not many people have much need for an even higher resolution camera on their phone. Few people want a bigger screen... I don't know anybody who needs more storage space on their device....
Want to see a huge jump? Find the next big leap forward in battery technology or reduced power consumption so people can have an "I only need to charge it once a week" phone.

I remember when that same upgrade train ended for laptops. The limited number of people who actually game and push the hardware got too small once the leaps started to be 10% better per year rather than 50%.
also a very easy thing to cut back on in a recession. 07 was tough for laptops and it never really came back.

Honestly, the only thing I really want to know is:
1. How are the midterms going to play out and
2. How will the results affect the market both immediately and long-term.
I don't think there are charts for that

Right, this is why the "China's going to call in our debt" argument never made the tiniest bit of sense. Treasuries don't work that way.
Everyone wants to buy our debt right now, at least short term debt. It's safe and gives a great return.

There are charts for everything. You can start here:

If it wasn't for ATT refusing to allow my OnePlus 3 to connect to their network, I would still be using it today. I think it was 6 or 7 years old when it went obsolete due to ATT dropping 3G coverage.
