Apple loses almost $ 50 billion in market value since the launch of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus

Apple's shares on Wall Street closed down nearly 1 percent on Friday, accumulating a 5.9 percent depreciation since the eve of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus launch, in addition to the iPhone X.

Between September 11 and Friday, the value of the company's stock on the US stock exchange rose from $ 161.50 to $ 151.98. Already the market value of the company was $ 834 billion to $ 785 billion.

Sales of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus were started this Friday, while the iPhone X will begin shipping in November.

The announcement that the iPhone X will be sold only in November displeased some investors, Ovum analyst Daniel Gleeson told the CNBC news channel. The reason is that Apple's fourth-quarter fiscal profit, which ends in September, may be "substantially" lower than expected, Gleeson said. The November launch thwarted sales expectations for Apple's September and fourth fiscal quarter, the report said.

The "Finacial Times" newspaper also points out investors' frustration about the release date, which still points to the possibility of weaker sales."I think demand is down from last year," Neil Cybart, an Apple analyst at Above Avalon, told the publication. "A part of the iPhone's launch demand is not yet materializing." According to the newspaper, investors also point to rising prices as one of the reasons for the uncertainties.

New Releases

Apple today unveiled the iPhone X , a new smartphone model that eliminates the traditional "home" button and features a borderless display and face recognition technology. The handset will cost from as little as $ 1,000.

In addition to the iPhone X, Apple also showed two other models of iPhones in its presentation at the new Apple Park campus. The iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus are smartphones made entirely of glass, which allows for battery recharging technology. Prices range from $ 700 (iPhone 8, 64GB) to $ 950 (iPhone 8 Plus, 256GB).
