Why Apple Shares Are Falling Today
Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) is trading lower Wednesday on reports the company may cut iPhone production by 10 million units.
According to reports, Apple might be cutting its production schedule for the iPhone 13 as a result of supply chain constraints caused by the chip shortage. The company originally aimed to produce about 90 million iPhones in the quarter.
