Apple drifts lower amid memory cost concerns and supply chain headwinds
Bloomberg reports that soaring memory and storage component prices are creating a 'crisis' for hardware companies like Apple, with costs not expected to reverse soon. Separately, Seeking Alpha notes Apple faces supply concerns over Japan's glass cloth shortages affecting chipboard materials.

Analysis

This modest decline extends a four-day losing streak for Apple, continuing the pattern of underperformance noted in recent sessions. While positive analyst commentary on AI-powered Siri and foldable iPhone potential provides long-term optimism (BofA maintains $325 target), near-term cost pressures appear to weigh on sentiment. The stock's underperformance versus the tech sector suggests company-specific concerns rather than broad market weakness.
