Sfi.
Two possible counts 
at high level 
The iPhone 12 release was good, sold more than expected, but aapl corrected from $125 to $115 exactly lower than SMA50.
Next qtr is really good for Aapl as recent release sales are went above estimate!
When real futures are good, stock correcting ( esp with antitrust cases with google ) will make the stock to jump after results.
See intel was above sma50, now dropped to sma50 after market!
Whereas aapl it must be on the opposite. Let me watch whether my guess is right or wrong
Long line in one of the Apple stores in Guangzhou, China. What’s so good about the 12? Surprisingly popular.
5G is enabled in iPhone 12, video resolution and 3 camera are great options. As usual fastest processor.
Wi-Fi 6 standard means 1.3 GBPS possible speed to local router.
In addition, China resale of phones for premium price is common.
I read 5G is default feature in China and not luxury, so all apple users will be changing their phones. This year is touted to be the super cycle yr for Apple. I got 12 because AT&T gave it almost free for trading in old ph. Otherwise, nothing ground breaking in 12. One can skip it.

almost free == $100?
In addition to those mentioned by bloggers, quoted an old posts,
For me, return of the form factor that I like.
some iphones can be traded for $800 and iph 12 - 64GB costs $800. Extra charges are sales tax of $40 around (if you are in Delaware it’s $0) and upgrade fee of $30 which is paid as $1 extra each month over 30 months contract.
Today, apple touched around $113, may be lowest of the period (guess). Once results are announced, they will beat the results and forecast will be good, we can not catch AAPL again.

Always right to buy AAPL but not sure about calls because of time expiry and theta decay.
Cut n paste from previous post (lazy to update, should look about the same),
Sold AAPL $112 put expiry oct 30 for $3 too.
Bought Jan 21, 2021 aapl $125 call for $4.50 range (right or wrong) speculative.
Didnot i said it before zombie firms are boosted from all kind of surveys from China. Teslas are already in boats sailing to Europe. Tesla made all investments and marketing to built brand image in Europe but now Chinese entered with there batteries.
Chinese like free dollars they collecting to create alternative supply chains.
Apple is going into Search engine. Both Google and Microsoft will be devalued… Both Google and Microsoft has Indian CEOs and i doubt Google and Microsoft has that much business in China like Apple. Huawei is going full speed in global office software.
I too got 2 calls but bit early (after iph 12 release) at $9.43. Hope I at least break even.

Samsung says next quarter demand for phones and memory chips for DC going to be soft. Might be tea leaves for all the FANG guidance (I expect like everyone else they will announce a beat but soft guidance)

FANG and Samsung are two very different things. Samsung is well diversified hardware that every one needs in world. Samsung electronic components can even go into Washing machines.
FANG is more media, search engine, office productivity, cloud storage etc.
my point was that Samsung is saying memory demand for servers used in data centers is soft. That means data center build outs which happens months in advance of use are down, which means traffic is dropping off for hyperscalers (Facebook, Google, Netflix, etc), which means their growth is slowing down.
