Apple (AAPL) Rises After Jefferies 'Upgrade' on 15% iPhone Sales Surge
July 2 - Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was upgraded to 'Hold' from Underperform by Jefferies, as the bank sees potential upside in third?quarter iPhone sales. Shares climbed about 1% in early trading on Wednesday after the upgrade. Jefferies analysts, led by Edison Lee, pointed to data from Counterpoint Research showing a 15% year?on?year increase in global iPhone volumes during April and May, the strongest growth since 2021. They noted 12.5% growth in the March quarter, driven in part by Chinese demand pulled forward through discounting. We estimate iPhone sales in China rose about 19% year?over?year during the June promotions, driving roughly 10% growth in the quarter, Lee wrote, adding that Apple appears determined to defend market share with targeted discounts and government subsidies. On that basis, Jefferies lifted its Q3 forecast to 49.4 million units, implying 9% growth versus its prior 1% outlook. However, the firm cut its September quarter projection by 11% to 46.3 million units, down 6% year?on?year, citing a lack of new features and the absence of AI as a game changer. Apple's fiscal third?quarter results, covering April 1 to June 30, are due around July 31, with analysts forecasting revenue of $88.67 billion and earnings per share of $1.42. Investors will be watching for any upside surprises in iPhone growth to sustain momentum. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Don't wait for Prime Day — every Apple Watch is discounted in the early Prime Day sales
If you've been waiting for the Prime Day deals to drop to invest in one of the best Apple Watches, I've got good news — nearly every watch is on sale early. I review fitness trackers and running watches for a living, and not a day goes by without me closing my rings on my Apple Watch. Below, I've hand-picked the Apple Watch deals worth shopping right now. My top pick? The Apple Watch 10 is just $299 on Amazon, which is $100 off and one of the best Apple Watch deals ever. It's the best smartwatch for most people, and similar to having an iPhone on your wrist. Plus, it's a whopping savings that probably won't be beaten on Prime Day. I've highlighted my top deals below and make sure to check out our early Prime Day deals live blog for the best deals right now. The Apple Watch Series 10 is the best Apple Watch for fitness and health tracking. It boasts Apple's latest holistic tech and features, including sleep apnea detection, and a gorgeous new display that's easy to read while working out. This deal is on the smaller, 42mm version, without cellular. It's a great price, and I'm not sure it'll get much cheaper on Prime Day. If you're looking for the Apple Watch 10 with GPS and Cellular (this allows you can make calls and use data or apps when you don't have your iPhone or Wi-Fi.) The best deal is on the 42mm with the sport loop, which is discounted from $499 to $399 right now on Amazon. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is Apple's most hardwearing smartwatch with double the water resistance of its siblings and an all-titanium design. This deal is on the version of the watch that comes with a blue alpine loop in small, but having tested them all, I'd say this is the most comfortable watch strap, so I'd recommend. It's a fantastic price for Apple's best watch for fitness fanatics. The cheapest Apple Watch to buy ahead of Prime Day is the Apple Watch SE GPS, which doesn't have all the same bells and whistles found on its pricier siblings, but it's still a mighty capable smartwatch. It comes in two sizes, and this deal is on the smaller 40mm version, with the midnight sport band. If you're after GPS and Cellular, which allows you to make calls and check your apps without your phone nearby, the best deal right now on the Apple Watch SE is in the 40mm version, with the midnight sport band. It's a great watch for less than $240, so grab it while you can.
