Apple's shares have declined this year but less severely than some peers like Microsoft. The company is launching affordable new products like the iPhone 17e and MacBook Neo, featuring powerful A19 and A18 Pro chips, making upgrades attractive despite higher memory and storage prices. Apple's silicon advantage and growing AI capabilities position it well to capture market share in a challenging smartphone market, especially in the U.S. and China. Rumored foldable iPhones and AI innovations could further boost Apple's stock and appeal to both budget and premium customers in 2026.
