$Apple(AAPL)$ just popped 6%,

$Apple(AAPL)$ just popped 6%, and despite some lingering regulatory "exemption" risks, this looks like a solid long opportunity. Here's why:

Market Confidence Restored: A 6% move on strong volume shows big money is piling back in. The worst-case scenarios around App Store regulations or device bans seem priced in.
AI Catalyst Building: Rumors of major AI integrations in the next iPhone cycle are heating up. Apple could ride the same AI-driven multiple expansion that boosted other tech giants.
Balance Sheet Strength: Apple’s fortress balance sheet gives it flexibility to handle fines, rule changes, or legal settlements without hurting its core business.
Technical Breakout: After weeks of consolidation, this surge puts Apple back above key moving averages — a classic bullish signal.

In my view, the exemption noise is just that — noise. The real story is Apple regaining leadership.

iPhone Price Hike? A Smart Move or Not Amid Uncertainties?

Shares of Apple jumped about 6% on Monday. Apple is thinking of raising the prices of its fall iPhone lineup, a measure the U.S. tech giant is seeking to couple with new features and design changes, The Wall Street Journal reported. --------- After bouncing back to $210, will possible price hike bring higher revenue? Can new AI features justify the price hike? Is it a smart move amid economic uncertainties? What's your price target for Apple?
