  Macworld
  For reasons known only to itself, Apple has historically followed a strategy of releasing inexpensive smartphones in bright and vibrant colors, while limiting its premium handsets to a more muted palette. But this changed last year with the launch of the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, and Apple was promptly rewarded with huge commercial success driven especially by the popularity of that color in China.With this in mind, all eyes will be on Apple’s color selections th

We speculated about them endlessly. Mostly because, since we didn’t have smartphones to look at, we had so little to do.

  There’s not long to go now. Based on Apple’s looming “global experience” on March 4, dwindling stock of the M1 MacBook Air, and a near-universal consensus among pundits and leakers, the much-anticipated cheap MacBook will be with us in the next seven or so days.

  Ben Gran for The Motley Fool:‎New research from Bloomberg shows that Apple stock is becoming less correlated with the Nasdaq-100 index, reaching its lowest level of correlation since 2006.

However, a rumor last week dampened those expectations considerably.
